Met fans will never be happy...ever. It's really quite sad Fri, 17 Apr 2009 16:06:26 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/17/opinion-the-citi-field-criticizm/#IDComment19114922 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/14/opinion-citi-field-will-play-big-for-now/#IDComment18727459 yep...no need to over think this game. both teams play on the same field. The only difference, between the winner and loser, is the way they pitched, fielded and/or hit the baseball.

Homers might be down, but I think runs will be a plenty. Also, there's no way Sheff and Murphy can be on that field at the same time unless Beltran is provided with an oxygen tank.

Simply put, Sheffield off the bench, for 400K, is a better, wiser option than either of the others in my opinion Mon, 6 Apr 2009 15:17:30 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/06/opinion-the-signing-of-gary-sheffield/#IDComment18246249 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/06/opinion-the-signing-of-gary-sheffield/#IDComment18245865 I'm evaluating each solely on their value to this team. Sheffield, as a bench player/spot starter, is more valuable to this team as Marlon Anderson or Nick Evans in the same capacity.

I think the belief that he's a cancer and a hindrance to chemistry, is 99% fan generated. Fans love to talk about clubhouse chemistry. Clubhouse chemistry, grit and playing with passion...which are all, apparently, obvious from a barcalounger Fri, 3 Apr 2009 20:46:45 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/03/quotes-manuel-minaya-beltran-on-sheffield/#IDComment18112525 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/03/news-mets-sign-sheffield/#IDComment18109445 Sheffield will want to send a big ole' "up yours" to the owners and front office across town.

Anyways, lets try to assume that Sheff won't come and poison this clubhouse to the point of a 100-120, perhaps even 162 loss season, and look at what he does to the bottom of this order. Simple question: Are we better with Reyes, Murphy, Wright, Delgado, Beltran, Sheff, Schnieder/Castro, Castillo OR Reyes, Murphy, Wright, Delgado, Beltran, Church/Tatis, Schnieder/Castro, Castillo ????

I don't think this move is to replace a Dan Murphy type. I thinkn it's great insurance in case the kid, or Church, cannot handle the wear and tear of a 162 game season. It's low risk from the salary standpoint and high reward from the standpoint that the man can flat out rake Fri, 3 Apr 2009 19:37:57 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/03/news-mets-sign-sheffield/#IDComment18105062 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/03/news-mets-sign-sheffield/#IDComment18104768 Met fans just loooooooove to complain... Fri, 3 Apr 2009 19:33:18 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/03/news-mets-sign-sheffield/#IDComment18104768 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/03/news-mets-sign-sheffield/#IDComment18103446 i don't understand why people are so upset about this. The clubhouse stuff is overrated and Sheff's problems, in NY, were not with his teammates, but rather, George Steinbrenner. In fact, if you read anything remotely credible or speak with folks that know what they're talking about, they will debunk most of the "sheff is bad in the clubhouse" nonsense. Anyone slating Daniel Murphy in for 600abs is a fool. It may happen, but a 450 ab increase is a lot to expect from the young man. Sheff is a low risk, high reward signing. I like it Fri, 3 Apr 2009 19:23:48 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/03/news-mets-sign-sheffield/#IDComment18103446
