It's also very disconcerning that the Tigers have no other DH and were set on releasing him. They would rather eat 14 mil then make Marcus Thames available on waivers. Marcus Thames? I think says all there is to say about Sheffield. Specifically on the Mets, he would be a good part time LF, if it wasnt for all the baggage. But then the Tigers would have kept him, if it wasnt for all the baggage... Sheffield needs to stay in the AL where he can play mostly DH.
