Sheffield update

He's an entertaining guy to say the least, you never know what's going to come out of his mouth.

I still have questions about Sheffield's injury, it just seems like such a coincidence that briefly after his protest night he suddenly had a back injury that has almost finished his season. This coming from a guy who admitted to dogging it to get the Brewers to trade him.

Sheffield says that he will definitely play next year and is going to work extra hard in the off-season so he's healthy enough to play 150 games, that was said hours before it was reported he will not play the field again this year ( source Daily News).

I think it's a mistake for the Mets to bring back Sheffield, it just reminds of Moises Alou. The Mets will end up relying on his power bat even though they'll say he's only a complimentary player, he'll end up getting injured and hurting the offense. Of course, I know he'll sign with the Marlins and kill us all year long.

Sheffield was pretty tough on his current teammates, saying that they needed to find an identity and made it sound as if the team was willing to blame the season on injuries...

"This team needs to focus on its identity," Sheffield said. "Anybody can get hurt. But the line has to keep moving, even when there are injuries. You can't have a team built on, 'If these guys don't come through, we're going to lose.' " source NY Post
