Phillies wonder who will play corner outfield in '16

NEW YORK -- Phillies rookie Darnell Sweeney started in left field on Wednesday night at Citi Field, the third time he has started at a different position since he joined the organization last month.

He previously started at second base and center field, but seeing Sweeney in left for the first time made one wonder about the Phillies' corner outfielders next season and beyond. Sweeney is not necessarily considered a candidate. He seems to be viewed as more of a super utility player.

But certainly somebody has to play the corners in the future.

Cody Asche and Domonic Brown have received the bulk of plate appearances thuere this season.
