All I know is he has one of the highest batting averages of the team. I hear that he has never had over 200 at bats in a season, but I think he may hit that number this year. I love Nady, but Sweeney is just amazing. Tonight at the game...ugh...awful boring game.....but being the Padre fan that I am, I stayed till the bitter end. Wasn't such a bad ending though. 2 guys on base. Then Sweeney comes to bat. I told my friend, "Sweeney is up to bat and he IS going to get a hit. Just watch." Whata ya know...awesome single along with an RBI right after I said that. At least he allowed this game to not be a shutout. What does everyone else think of him? I'm just curious why he doesn't get more discussion time.
[update] So I picked Clay Hensley in this poll, but my close runner up is Miguel Olivo. I want to see Hensley pitch more often though because I think he's the next Linebrink-type. Olivo has been looking way good so far however.
