Guillen said Sweeney's exceptional play has made it easier for him to make the ultimate call in regard to this young talent's roster spot.
"Right now, we will see how many at-bats I have for him," said Guillen of Sweeney, hitting .259 after Thursday's contest. "If we need him here to win, we are going to keep him. That's up to [general manager] Kenny [Williams]."
