  Ok so they are getting rid of a lefty bat and are making room for another righty on the bench. Don't know about Sheff but Bruntlett has been showing he can hit the ball this spring, and he is a pretty good defensive option as a spell outfielder. Does anyone know if Donald is guaranteed to go back to minors, or whats going on with Cairo? What are their statuses, assuming they don't land Sheffield are either of them potential bench right handed bats?

    If the Phils acquire no one else, Cairo and Stairs make the team. Donald is in the minors. Bruntlett is already on the team

  I'd be shocked if Sheffield came here for as little work as he will most likely get. I don't really think he fits well with our scheme either. The MO of late has been to bring in role players that fit in with the team model. Not exactly Sheff.

  no one in the AL is interested in Sheff. he wants to play for TB, but the Rays invested money in our boy, Pat the Bat. the Phillies are probably the most attractive option for him....Now, i know we need R handed hitting depth, but at what cost? and i'm not talking money. i just can't stand Sheff.

  Ruben said the front office has already contacted sheff now they are playing the waiting game. Donald is gonna stay in Leigh with corrasco untill someone muffs up or gets hurt and stairs has already made the team.
