Any documentation of other info. on him making errors on purpose? I know a hard throw from Jeter hit him in the stomach in the Detroit series, but it looked like he was genuinely trying to catch the ball.

If the official scorer gave me an error, I didn't think was an error, I'd say, 'OK, here's a real error,' and I'd throw the next ball into the stands on purpose.'" -Gary Sheffield in 1992

[ QUOTE ]
A lot of teams will consider Sheff a steal with the way things will go this off season. The Yanks have no intention whatsoever ever of keeping Sheff. They already have 2 or 3 teams strongly pushing to aquire Sheff and they also wanted to make sure they prevented him from going to Boston. [/ QUOTE ] havent seen the rumor, but there is 0% chance of the red sox actually wanting sheff at the money he would require. do you guys actually think of these rumors, or just accept them as reality?

[/ QUOTE ] if they pull off a multi-team deal where they could acquire sheff and let manny go, they would probably still shed payroll and get/upgrade a couple of very good players to boot. this is why i am hoping the yankees don't deal with the red sox.

Re: Yankees Pick Up Option on Sheffield; Sheffield Not Happy About It
What you guys think about this from olney's blog...esp the part about Damon?
2. The class of free agents about to hit the market is about to become very rich. Jeff Suppan, the starter for the Cardinals in Wednesday night's Game 4, might have been in the Matt Clement-Eric Milton range three winters ago (three years, $21 million to $25 million). Now he might get a bigger contract -- in the Ben Sheets-Johan Santana range of four years and $40 million. "Teams have money and they are going to pay for pitching," one GM said Tuesday night. "That is the ultimate seller's market." A few months ago, scouts and executives speculated that a talent like Daisuke Matsuzaka might get a $30 million to $40 million deal (beyond the initial posting fee). Now it may be a whole lot more than that. 3. Some veteran players already under contract with one or two years left on their deals will look like bargains. It's a slam dunk now that the Yankees will pick up the $13 million option on Gary Sheffield; Torii Hunter on a one-year, $12 million deal option, just exercised by the Twins, is a tremendous deal. 4. The decisions made by some teams in the past 12 months suddenly look very different. The four-year, $47 million contract given to B.J. Ryan by the Blue Jays, once considered near madness by rivals, appears to be a very solid deal. Boston's insistence that Johnny Damon was a $10 million-a-year player? Major mistake, because within a couple of years, the back end of Damon's deal is going to look very reasonable, once peers like Vernon Wells start getting $16 million to $17 million contracts.

[/ QUOTE ] Vernon Wells is a whole lot better and 5 years younger than Johnny Damon. Also, he is just assuming the contract Wells is going to get...how about he compares to Damon to a guy that actually is signed? basically, LOL at the idea that Wells will be a "peer" to Damon in 3 years.
