The Oakland Athletics have released 35-year old DH Mike Sweeney today, as they need to see what kind of youth they have for the 2009 season. Sweeney played well in April, before going down with a knee injury in May. He was attempting to return soon, but the prognosis wasn't too good, as he might need to have yet another surgery to fix that troublesome knee.
There shouldn't be too much more than a few minor-league contracts or spring-training invitations for Sweeney, who just cannot stay healthy.
