Spring Training – Ask Rotoman

The Sweeny Plan, Spelled Correctly

Bruce Buschel sings the ballad of Hugh Sweeny, the legendary roto player whose spot I slithered into in the American Dream League, many moons ago.

Of course major league teams load trucks full of gear and drive them to Spring Training. Of course they do, though I never really thought about it.

Now I wonder why the Reds are bringing Mike Leake wheels for his new, old Camaro to Arizona?

And why do ML teams have to bring sunflower seeds to Arizona and Florida?

On the other hand, why not bring a lot of baseballs? What the hey!
