Over .340

I’m assuming we’re talking about his wOBA as being mostly a platoon. Platoon players with no defensive skill pretty much have to hit like crazy people to be worth having on a contender.

At least .330 wOBA sounds about right.

Basically keeping the clubhouse in good shape while pulling his own weight at the plate.

Anything below ~.335-.340 and he's below replacement.

He’s fun to have around and he hasn’t hurt anything this season, but people need to remember that the biggest, most important reason that the team chemistry has improved this year is because the Mariners have a winning record and spent the majority of the season in at least marginal contention.

If we're a contending team the poll states then I don't care who is on it

If Sweeney’s roster spot is the difference between contending and almost contending, then above .340

I read the question as "a team which is constructed with the intention to contend."

But yeah, if Sweeney is irrelevant and there aren’t meaningful upgrades available for his roster spot, I couldn’t care less.
