The Book on Ryan Sweeney
Prospect Info
Ryan Sweeney
Born 2/20/1985
OF, OAK
One of Ozzie's favorite youngsters, Sweeney also showed off one of the sweetest left-handed swings since Griffey while making his debut in Chicago. Now that he's moving to a pitcher's park in Oakland, he'll need to use skills other than his power to succeed.
While he won't likely ever be more than average defensively in the field, a near-.300 average with power is not too much to expect in Sweeney's first full season.
Player Updates and Notes
Ryan Sweeney was sent to Oakland today, along with two other players, in a trade for 1B-OF Nick Swisher.
