Back from mid-winter hibernation/trip to Europe with a vengeance.
In case there was any doubt, this is EXACTLY why Mr. Sheffield is in baseball’s version of Siberia. Defending AL Champions or not, Detroit isn’t exactly a nice place to live or earn a living nor is it a stone-cold lock to repeat (or even play .500 ball again).
Sheffield can rip Joe Torre all he wants but there’s nothing he can say that will convince me (or any other logical baseball fan, for that matter) that he belonged in the outfield over Bobby Abreu in last year’s playoffs. What’s ridiculous is that Sheffield will be Detroit’s full-time DH in 2007. So why rip Torre for something that Leyland’s going to do to you right now?
A major prima donna cancer, that’s what Sheffield is. He’s Barry Bonds with half the talent, and just as few friends.
