Interesting thing is he named Houston as one of the teams he would like. But its not a very good chance because of his high salary. He also wanted Mets, yankees and braves. But mets said no to the offer. http://espn.go.com/mlb/news/2001/0219/1095073.html Would you like to get Sheffield here ? Imagine a ALOU, Hidalgo and Sheffield outfield. All star outfield. I just found out Sheffields uncle is Dwight Gooden, I never knew that. ------------------ "Break off the block like Maurice Green" --- Steve Francis President of the Moochie Norris fan club.
Not really,he is not much an improvement if any over Alou and no way do I trade Berkman.Plus he's had a history of dogging it. ------------------ I'm worse at what I do best And for this gift I feel blessed
Of course with Berkeman, Alou, and Hidalgo wo have just about as good an outfield for about 10 million less. Plus I lose all respect for players that demand to be traded. If I was a GM I'd just say "fine, I'm gonna bench your ass. Have fun making no money...." Sheffield is also supposed to be a club house cancer. I wouldn't go for him. Offense was not our problem last year... dylan ------------------
Houston needs as much offense as it can find because you know how many injured players they are going to have. ------------------ "Break off the block like Maurice Green" --- Steve Francis President of the Moochie Norris fan club.
Every 2 years Sheff pulls this crap. Send him to Montreal. ------------------ When we tire of well-worn ways, we seek for new. This restless craving in the souls of men spurs them to climb, and to seek the mountain view. -- Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Sheff may be an @$$ at times, but with his ability, he would put up monster numbers at Enron. I consider Chavez Ravine a pitcher's park, so it wouldn't be unrealistic for Gary to put up better #'s then Alou or even Hidalgo if he were in an Astro's uniform. ------------------ "Roses are red. Violets are blue. I'm a schizophrenic and so am I."
If there's one thing the Astro's need, its getting power-hitting outfielders. Oh wait . . . I'd trade for him, but only if the Astro's could get a decent arm in the deal, or trade Sheffield immediately for a good pitcher.
