Gary Sheffield released by Tigers; Will anyone else want him?

DH Gary Sheffield was released by the Detroit Tigers Tuesday, a week before the regular season starts and with the well-traveled slugger only one home run shy of the magic number of 500. Sheff was coming off a rough spring training in which he only hit .118 but of his eight hits, five of them were homers. The question now is, where will he end up? Sheffield has said he wants to play in Tampa Bay, but the Rays signed Pat Burrell to be their designated hitter this offseason. The Rangers and Blue Jays have no interest either, according to Fox Sports.com's Ken Rosenthal. Even though he is 40 years old, Sheffield can probably still be a moderately productive DH, especially at the $400,000 league minimum it will take to sign him. Ruling out National League teams, I could see the Twins and Royals as good fits for a power hitting right hander. But what if Sheffield were willing to play first base? Or maybe the better question is, could he play first base? That would make him...
