DateQuestionAnswer
2012-02-13 13:00:00The A's are apparently converting Sean Doolittle to pitching - any guess on how that works out?
(Scot from somewhere)
Obviously, it's a long shot, but it's worth trying. (Kevin Goldstein)
2009-07-15 14:00:00Is Sean Doolittle the A's starting rightfielder next year?
(Dave from Chicago)
I hope not, for the sake of A's fans. (Kevin Goldstein)
2009-02-17 13:00:00Did UVA miss their window a few years ago to make the big leap into the elite college programs (i.e. consistent top 20 team)? This will probably be a down year since they're so young, but I'm wondering if the team will ever have enough offense to go with the strong pitching staffs.
(Ryan from Charlottesville, VA)
I considered Virginia for the bottom of this list, but in the end, I just really couldn't justify it. You're right, I do think Virginia didn't take that step forward; they should have reached Omaha at some point with Sean Doolittle or David Adams. There's some decent players on that offense, but in Jeremy Farrell, the team lost 11 of their 25 home runs from last season. Power is so hard to come by at Davenport, but at this point, that's really only an excuse for a non-park related issue. Enjoy Andrew Carraway though ... he's fun to watch. (Bryan Smith)
2008-09-03 14:00:00Sean Doolittle, A's, He really improved his power numbers. What do you see in the future. Move to OF to make room for Chris Carter and/or Matt Spencer?
(jake1m from Jenny Lind, Ca)
Four home runs in 201 Double-A at-bats. I'm still not totally sold here on him. (Kevin Goldstein)
2008-08-20 13:00:00What do you make of Sean Doolittle's struggles in Double-A? Temporary setback or indication that his numbers were inflated by the hitter-friendly Cal League?
(Dave from Chicago)
Little bit of both. (Kevin Goldstein)
2008-08-20 13:00:00Too many boring baseball questions for you today Kevin. So I'll ask: Have you beaten Persona 3:FES yet, and what is your favorite non-Disgaea NIS game? Oh, and who do you like more at this point, Jemile Weeks or Sean Doolittle?
(Mike F from Gainesville)
Have NOT beat FES yet -- maybe 1/2 through. I thought Persona 3 was outstanding. As far as NIS games, I'm the guy dumn enough to like Phantom Brave. Favorite RPG of alltime -- Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. Best NON-RPG games: Fatal Frame II; Katamari Damacy, Portal. (Kevin Goldstein)
