Oh Look, Sheffield Still Might Make Me Hate Him

Linky

 

"He's talking to two or three other clubs," Jocketty said. "He'll play for the minimum (salary). It's a matter of playing time."

Said Baker: "He's weighing his options. He would love to come play for me. But he knows we've got (Chris) Dickerson, (Jay) Bruce and (Joey) Votto. We've got to reward those guys."

So basically the Reds are offering platoon at-bats in left.

In other words; he's taking Jonny Gomes' job. Gotta feel bad for Gomes, he might be below average defensively, but Sheffield is going to make him look like Crawford, and the difference in hitting is likely going to be nada. All of this because Sheffield is Sheffield.

This is more Dusty being Dusty then Sheffield being Sheffield

You can’t blame Sheff for wanting to get a job. You can blame Dusty for giving him one.

Yep ... that's true and bad for Gomes!

Lets let the Phillies take him as they are a serious contender and Sheffield would make them worse!

Why would he want to come here as opposed to going elsewhere?

Unless Kapler gets hurt or waived, we really don’t have a spot for a RH platoon OF.

Vogt early, Vogt often.

Agreed

The first thing I thought of when the Reds were mentioned was that Gomes would be the odd man out. I think he could possibly catch on somewhere else as a 4th outfielder because he had a pretty decent spring, but the timing will make that difficult.

Remember when we had Orvella

And during one spring game Gomes was too preoccupied talking with him, so he completely missed a ball landing?

I miss him.

I loved Jonny Gomes. He was the best

Too bad he wasn’t the best at baseball.

I wish there was a way he could come back as some type of promotional/marketing figure once he is out of baseball.

Jonny is saved

Looks like the Shefdog will be a Met

God I'd love to see him sign in Philly

An outfield of Ibanez, Victorino and Sheffield would be an absolute disaster to watch, and worth every second of my time dedicated to seeing it.

Kinda reminds me of Guillen, Granderson, and Maggs

Detroit is going to give up 50,000 runs this year.

Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it's business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You'll be an old man before you know it.
