O'Sullivan opening some eyes
(2/18/2013)Sean O'Sullivan signed with the Padres during the offseason after spending all of 2012 in the minors. Manager Bud Black told MLB.com on Monday that he has been impressed with the right-hander thus far and tabbed O'Sullivan as the starter for San Diego's spring training opener on Friday against the Mariners. "Seeing Sean from afar, obviously heard the name being a San Diego kid, and [he] was a highly-regarded high school player, but the thing that stood out for me when I saw him this winter at Petco [was that] he looks in great shape," Black said. "Really determined to make his mark. He's been with a couple different teams with some varied success, but there is a determined look in his eye, which is great."
