Sean O'Sullivan

Sean O'Sullivan

Interesting analysis of Sean O'Sullivan over at the SB Nation Rays site . . .

Tonight we face Angels starter Sean O'Sullivan. He has thrown just 34.1 innings this year, but has shown to be a decent option for a team that has struggled to find consistent and/or healthy pitching all year. According to Fangraphs, he features a 90 MPH fastball about 60% of the time that, so far, has been really underwhelming (-1.87 wFB/C, think Bronson Arroyo). He'll go to a curveball about 22% and it isn't much better (-0.45 wCB/C, think Ross Ohlendorf). However, his change so far has been a true money pitch . . . .

Vladimir Guerrero is in the lineup for tonight’s game against the Chicago White Sox, his first since straining a muscle behind his left knee on July 7.

No word yet on who moves on the roster to make room for his activation from the DL.

Fangraphs: Anaheim Goes Clubbing

For the last few years, the Angels offensive game plan has been to try to get a few fast guys on the bases in front of Vladimir Guerrero and then hope he hits a three run homer. They could afford some offensive weaknesses thanks to their starting rotation, and they built a winner out of run prevention with just enough offense to get by . . . .
