Re: Tigers get Sheffield
[ QUOTE ]
I saw that deal is contingent on Sheffield agreeing to an extension through '09. Is he going to play 1B? Or are they going to convert Monroe to 1B? [/ QUOTE ] Leyland says he'll primarily be a DH with sometime in the OF.

Re: Tigers get Sheffield
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] wtf Let's hope he's willing to play 1b for the Tigers... or let's really hope we have that Bondy for Teix deal they've mentioned... Geez, this is taking trading young for old to a brand new level. Sanchez was our best minor league pitcher, or so I'm told. [/ QUOTE ] I like it, we are loaded with young pitching, and need some patient hitters [/ QUOTE ] 38-year olds though? Why not just give up Sanchez for Soriano mid-season? IIRC that's what the Nats were asking for. [/ QUOTE ] The Nats wanted also Curtis Maybin, a top OF prospect, which was a deal breaker.

Re: Tigers get Sheffield
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] He's good enough to be a 4th outfielder, especially at minimum salary. [/ QUOTE ] By far. [/ QUOTE ] This is only true if your definition of "4th outfielder" is "someone who gets 1 PA per week". If you sign JD Drew, your fourth OF becomes "someone who may have to play 1/2 a season." The Yanks should expect to be the class of baseball given their resources. They shouldn't have a plan that includes regular playing time for Melky Cabrera, unless they suddenly decide that they care about money. I'm not trying to slam Melky, but the Yankees should have real stars all over the field.

If Drew happens to be out for a long time, they can easily just go out and get someone. Also keep in mind they already have Abreu Damon Matsui, so to replace Drew, they could just aquire a 1B/DH guy which should be easy to find, and then move Abreu back into the OF.
