Sweeney/Beltran info?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Both were dinged up in last nite's gm. Really like KC tonite. Very live dog imo. Royals have been hitting L10, and A's are very shaky as a sizable fav. A's avg less than 5.0 runs/gm, so this # is not justified.

Before I take the plunge on KC, however, would like to know if these guys are in the lineup. Sweeney in particular is the diff btw the Royals being respectable and the Royals being a joke.

Thx for any info. This morning, I saw Sweeney listed as day-to-day.

Beltran is in the lineup (cracked toenail). But dammit, no Sweeney. That's huge.

Medium KC play for me. GL.
