and magglio ordonez is hitting .172 with NO EXTRA BASE HITS! placido polanco is hitting .206!
Gonna be a long season in detroit with these two "done" players chewing up at bats.
Don't love the Sheffield signing..but I don't hate it. Sheff was pretty darn good 2 years ago compared with the perception of him. I am pretty worried that he will snake valuable playing time from some others, but as a strict platoon for church or murphy i wouldn't mind at all. If the Mets win, he may have a positive attitude as well.
hate hate HATE the quote about how he thinks he is getting more PT and I just hate sheff in general, we'll see.
Worth noting that Sheff ran bad on balls in play last year..2 years ago he walked more than he K'd and last year he had 83 Ks in 470 PA with 58 walks, far from horrible.
