Sheffield Placed On Waivers

His career is obviously coming to an end, but he still has a little over 14 millon dollars left on his contract.It is unlikely that anyone would make a play for him. Even if the other team had to pay nothing for him, there are better options...

He has been named an All-Star nine times and sits perched ten home runs away from 500. One could easily argue he is one of the most intimidating hitters of his era. His swing is undoubtedly one of the game's most violent (if nothing else). Despite losing a metaphorical step, he still smacked 25 dingers and drove in 75 runs last year (he even swiped 22 bases). Prior to opening day...

PREGAME: It's Kenny Rogers turn tonight. Turn to what I'm not sure. Is it give up too many runs to a struggling offensive team? Is it pitch brilliantly only to be undermined by an inept bullpen? Or maybe it's something I haven't even heard of.

Jim Leyland - The Master of Words
"I tried to play him in the outfield. It didn't work. He couldn't throw in from the outfield."
I saw the big bold quote on this story before I even read it. And when I saw it - I just about spit a mouthful of Mt. Dew all over my computer screen. Now - this is a quote! A quote from none other than the 'Master of Words' - Jim Leyland.
Sheffield Should Just Shut-Up
Just when you thought Gary Sheffield had just gotten over his tendency to run his mouth, he proves that he can still tick off his manager and organization. Sheffield opened his mouth to complain about having to DH and taking a seat on the bench every so often.

Tigers Shopping Ordonez?
Tigers outfielder Magglio Ordonez is having another great year, hitting .318 with 15 HR in 104 games. Although these are great numbers, they definitely are not worth fifteen million dollars, which he would get if he stays healthy and keeps playing how he is playing. The Detroit News breaks down the situation: "If Ordonez has 135 starts or 540 plate appearances (at-bats, walks...
