Where would he play???
If Ozzie plans on giving most of the time to Ozuna/Mack then Sweeney needs to go down. Which is why I think he wants to send him down. If that's the case then good, theres no need for him to sit on the bench.
On the other hand, with the questions surrounding our outfield in the future we need to have some rookies to step up and if thats the case then leaving him out there this year is the best the option. At least in the offseason we'll have a better idea about our OF.
