Gary Sheffield was not happy about being replaced in the lineup by Bobby Abreu, so maybe he’ll be happier in Detroit. Currently sixth in RBIs and seventh in home runs among active major leaguers, Sheffield has probably earned the right to claim superiority. One the other hand, it took a few years (nineteen, as a matter of fact) to acquire those stats. That puts him at the stage where teams have to try to guess how much longer a guy can produce at that level.
Meanwhile, the Yankees have three young pitchers coming from the Tigers organization with plenty of potential among them. Anthony Claggett and Kevin Whelan will start out at Tampa and Trenton; Humberto Sanchez, with 10 wins and 6 losses (2.63 ERA in 20 Double-A and Triple-A starts) will be part of the Yankee’s roster. Let’s hope they all have a lot of years of fine baseball ahead.
