Re: Yankees Pick Up Option on Sheffield; Sheffield Not Happy About It
[ QUOTE ]
lol Shef, you can retire if you want, but otherwise you signed a [censored] contract. Baseball players have no idea how good they have it(thanks to their union, one of the most successful in the US). [/ QUOTE ] If I recall correctly Shef not only signed this contract, he also negotiated it himself -- and then tried to renegotiate it within a month or so after he signed it. Shef got paid lots of money to sit on his ass injured this year. Now he realizes that it could get far more difficult to get a three year deal after this year, particularly if he has any injury problem at all. He should STFU, play ball and be happy with the contract he has. Hopefully the Yankees will trade him to the NL for some young pitching...

he's done this before when dealing with trades, so i can't say it's surprising [/ QUOTE ] Like sailing throws from the outfield & missing his teammates on purpose & then admitting it while in Milwaukee. Brewer fans still boo they guy whenever he arrives at Miller Park.

Re: Yankees Pick Up Option on Sheffield; Sheffield Not Happy About It
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. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Yankees Pick Up Option on Sheffield; Sheffield Not Happy About It
And who's going to give him a 3-year deal at this stage of his career? Not to mention $13 million.
I'm surprised they picked up the option. I can only guess that he's going to be traded, with the Yankees picking up a portion of his contract. From what I saw, he's not much improvement over Giambi at first base.

[/ QUOTE ] Sheffield playing in 2007 for a 2008 contract would be a pretty good gamble for someone-- he's crying because he got outmanuevered by the Yankees, it seems to me.

Re: Yankees Pick Up Option on Sheffield; Sheffield Not Happy About It
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.
