Re: sheffield released

Sheffield will defiitely get picked up. Even if his game has dwindled down he will still be a short term PR attraction for some team, when he hits his 500th Home Run. Sheffield himself has no intentions of stop playing. I am not sure how he has been doing during Spring Training or the reason why he was doing poorly but I am sure it is just a small slump he is starting off in. I am sure he will break out of it. He is still a big power hitter and in great shape.

We will see him pop up somewhere!!

I have spoken with Sheffield in the past and in his mind he wants to play as long as he possibly can, he loves the game. If he can I am sure he will try to push to hit 600.
Now I am not saying this is going to happen or that a team will carry him for that long but, he could pull it off if a team does carry him.

Re: sheffield released

Sheffield may never see 500 himself. The guys batting under .200 in Spring Training, and is often injured.

The tigers just released Gary Sheffield...(499 career home runs).
no one has ever hit his 500th playing for the tigers....hard to believe !!
