Tigers release Sheffield?

[beerchaser]

c: I think i heard this somewhere, but him and anybody didnt get along last year.

ftfy

Phillies release Jenkins; contact Sheffield.

Something could be happening here..

[DarthJaker]

He will probably sign with the Phillies and replace Pat the Bat. They released Jenkins today to try to sign him.

I see 3 things that made this easy for Detroit.

A: Batting .179 this spring
B: Oft injured and sucked last year.
C: I think I heard this somewhere, but him and Leyland didnt get along last year.

A: certainly true, but I don't really put much stock into ST numbers. I don't think he should've been cut without some major league ABs first.
B: Yes he was but everything indicated that he was healthy this year. Again, seems like he's worth trying out at the beginning of the year, see what he's got left.
C: They actually had a pretty good relationship, relatively speaking. I mean, Sheff doesn't really see eye-to-eye with anyone, but his relationships on the Tigers seemed to be pretty good compared to with the Yankees or the Dodgers or the Padres or the Brewers...

I'm pretty sure Raul Ibanez replaced Pat Burrell....Here's why signing Sheffield is a pretty silly idea for the Phillies.

I'm Sure that it would be
C: Ruiz
1B: Howard
2B: Utley
3B: Ibanez
SS: J-Roll
LF: Sheffield
CF: Flying Hawaiian
RF: Werth

Um, no. They signed Raul Ibanez to a 3 year/$30 million...AND he's much better than Sheffield.

[ragecage]

Ibanez at 3B, really?

[HoustonGM]

Ibanez at 3B, really?

WOW WHAT?!?

I didn't even SEE that. I read that as Feliz and figured he put Ibanez on the bench.

In that case, WTF ARE YOU SMOKIN MAN!? LOL

Then the dont got no reason to sign Sheffield he will goto an AL team could goto Texas to replace Milton Bradley

[HoustonGM]

Then the dont got no reason to sign Sheffield

You're right. They don't got no reason to sign him.

he will goto an AL team could goto Texas to replace Milton Bradley

This isn't 2003 anymore. Gary Sheffield has a weak bat and can't field. He's not "replacing" the guy that led the league in OPS.

But, really, where the hell did you get the idea of Raul Ibanez at third base?

[DarthJaker]

You're right. They don't got no reason to sign him.

Bradley was the DH for the Rangers

Answer the question Darth. I laughed when you initially put it, because I remember way back that someone posted a vid of Ibanez trying to throw the ball back to the infield but threw it directly into the ground. That is no arm you want in the hot corner.

[DarthJaker]

Ibanez was the Mariner's 3B at one point in time

[BINGLEBOP]

He has one career game at third base, and made one error in his only chance.

I'd call you something referring to your (lack of) intelligence, but I don't want to end up banned.
