    A's News Clips, Sunday, August 30, 2009 Sweeney Starting to Show

    A’s News Clips, Sunday, August 30, 2009 Sweeney starting to show some power at the plate By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune Hairston's anticipation tags A's with a victory ANAHEIM — Scott Hairston hasn't been in the American League very long, but he knows the Los Angeles Angels like to wreak havoc on the bases. So Hairston, the A's left fielder, was expecting Chone Figgins to tag up in the bottom of the ninth Saturday and Oakland leading 4-3. Hairston caught Bobby Abreu's fly ball near the foul line and threw a one-hopper to second to nail Figgins to end the game. "I was anticipating he was going to go," Hairston said. "I think you have to on that, because if you hesitate he's going to be safe." Since Hairston came over from San Diego in a July 5 trade, he's had a couple of rough moments in the outfield but also some very nice plays. He's also earned praise from manager Bob Geren for playing through a quadriceps injury. It's feeling better, but obviously playing every day, nothing drastic is going to happen (as far as improvement)," Hairston said. "I'm expecting it's going to hurt every day. We'll see how it is in a few weeks. Hopefully I'll get back to stealing bases and being myself." ≈ Ryan Sweeney drove an Ervin Santana fastball deep out of the park Thursday, showing a glimpse of his power. Ask Sweeney, and he'll say it's not so much his mechanics but his mental approach that's the key to unlocking that power more consistently.
