Wed Dec 18 2013 | 12:29 | Phils add O'Sullivan on minor league contract |
Padres signed RHP Sean O'Sullivan to a minor league contract. |
The deal includes a spring training invite. The 26-year-old had a 3.83 ERA over 115 innings this past season at the Triple-A level. O'Sullivan's problems begin when he's asked to take to a major league hill, where he's been taxed with a 5.89 ERA over 50 career appearances (37 starts). He'll need a big spring to win a roster spot. |

Padres purchased the contract of Sean O'Sullivan from Triple-A Tuscon. |
O'Sullivan will make his first start of the 2013 season against the Giants on Friday, replacing Robbie Erlin in the rotation. The 25-year-old righty hasn't appeared in the big leagues since he made 10 awful starts for the Royals in 2011. Despite pitching in a favorable environment, fantasy owners should probably look elsewhere. |

Fri Jun 17 2011 | 11:43 | Sean O'Sullivan changing mechanics |
Sean O'Sullivan (biceps) is using his time on the disabled list to go back to his old delivery. |
Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star refers to it as a "power delivery" that O'Sullivan thinks he went away from due to an overemphasis on mechanics. "I'm so tired of mechanics," he said. "I'm so tired of trying to get in the perfect position. When I was in high school and college, I could stand at home plate and throw it over the left-field fence if I wanted to. So I started playing catch like that again. I decided I was just going to be athletic. Not try to get in the perfect position and be so robotic." O'Sullivan has liked the results in a pair of bullpen session. He'll throw a simulated game this weekend and could be ready for a rehab assignment the following weekend. |

Thu Jun 2 2011 | 23:11 | Sean O'Sullivan gets pounded again |
Sean O'Sullivan continued his downward spiral Thursday, allowing seven runs - three earned - on eight hits and two walks over just 2 2/3 innings in a loss to the Twins. |
O'Sullivan got off to a surprisingly nice start when thrust into the Royals rotation, but he's been downright dreadful lately, allowing a whopping 30 runs - 26 earned - over his previous four outings to bloat his ERA all the way up to 6.92. Nate Adcock followed O'Sullivan with some effective innings, and he might get a shot to replace him in the rotation the next time out. If O'Sullivan gets another shot, it will come against the Blue Jays. |
