You're talking to a guy who grew up watching Greg Luzinski play LF :- ) and it's not like the idea is obsolete. Dunn has played corner OF recently. Manny, etc etc.
The defensive craze shouldn't lead to dogma.

Garko ... very interesting idea. His SX's are in the 20's and 30's (100 being average). I wonder what his footspeed is?
You can play him LF on the road.

Here's a thought. What if you brought in a specialty coach to teach Ken Griffey how to play outfield? :- )
Junior is supposed to be lighter and faster this year. Won some relay drills, supposedly.
If you could get Junior or Garko or whoever a few of the #5 OF AB's, there isn't much of an issue at all with Sweeney.
