The Ollie Perez dilemma. If Dombrowski can do it so can the Mets and Minaya.

New York Mets slugger Gary Sheffield(notes) apparently thinks he's a goner (and soon) from the Mets roster, according to the New York Post. Sheffield apparently is thinking the Mets are going to just put him on waivers and let him go before season's end.
