The #1 issue a lot of people have over Sweeney is his non existing power for a corner outfielder. Every ChiSox and A's fans I read use that against him. But looking beyond that is a fundamental player. His last couple of years he had injuries problems and his defense took a hit. But he's a career .300 hitter against RHP and he gets bench once every 5th game. Sweeney is an excellent fit for Fenway. Can hit the ball the other way and his legs are back where they were before. Good base runner and defender. Just stop thinking he's going to hit for power.
