ESPN reports Gary Sheffield is unhappy with his role for Detroit and wants to explore other options and Detroit is pretty much out of it

 

Good idea to bring back Sheff or just stick it out with what we got

Hmm yeah we could give it a try he would give us another solid at bat he can still produce 20 plus homers if his healthy but the only problem latley is that he isent healthy to often anymore but in my opinion give it a shot.

Is he really going to give us much that we don't already have from Gonzo?

Rab nahh he would give us more homers thats 1 thing for sure after that i cant come up with anything els gonzo couldent do ohh and maybe a little more speed then gonzo beacuse sheffield is faster then gonzo 4 sure.

Pitching should be this organizations priority

I would LOVE to hear Sheff tell Hanley "You just ain't all the way black"

Sheff is the man, i wouldn't mind having him back. can he still play outfield like once in a blue moon?

Whats new, when is sheffield not happy,this guy has to be one of the biggest cry babies of all-time....

Dont want him cause he wont be happy being a back-up...

with LoDuca not being a full time catcher, he will be an extra outfielder/1B, I can not see where Sheffield would play?

Maybe if we convert him into a pitcher and stick him in the bullpen.....

Right now this team really doesn't need another power bat. Our team is fine as it is, if we need one thing it would be good situational hitter wit RISP, even though Shef is technically a good hitter wit RISP I don't know if he still has much left in the tank, he only has 10 home runs and has a .222 BA, lets just let this team be.

He only has 10 HR because he's been a bench player. Only 5 more AB than Gonzo has.

 

But once again, we don't need him.

true, but like i said we don't need another home run hitter on this team, he is batting .222 and has on OPS of .697 and OBP of .322, the marlins do not need another home run hitter, we need a guy that can get on base and score, something sheffield is not

He has had injury problems thats why he only got 10 homers without the injurys he would be at 15-18 some thing like that and like rab said he only got 5 more at bats then gonzo so yeah sheff would be a better option then gonzo right know.

totally disagree, Gonzo has been a great guy to step in and get the big hits, Gonzo has given us an extra 5-7 wins,

But Dim you got some great points as well im not sure that i want him either its yes and no from my side.

Also Sheffield is another bad attitude player, we do not want team chemistry to be ruined.

Yeah i think your right i gave it a closer thaught and it came to my mind that gonzo is the better option.

Yeah thats true that would be bad for the team if the team chemistry is ruined it would ruin our whole season.

Do the Marlins even have room for another player?

Fish Dynasty no i dont think so im not 100% sure.

again, Sheff is still a Tiger, nothing is going to happen, even if we would have to get him on waivers, which is very unlikely.

Sheff is one of my favorite Marlins of all time. I used to emulate his swing (badly) when I was a kid, with that fierce bat waggle. Sentimentally, I'd LOVE to have him back. He was never a clubhouse cancer when he was on our ballclub, always one of the guys who would get our guys pumped before a big game. Realistically I highly doubt it will happen.

 

I'll say this though, I'd stick him in left over Willingham right now, but if Josh continues to get healthy and starts swinging for power a bit more we'll be fine. The Tiger we could've used is Pudge, and that ship has sailed.

We couldn't get Pudge. Detroit wanted a good middle reliever and that's just not something we have available for selling.

I had heard... somewhere... that we did offer Lindstrom... but for some reason they preferred Farnsworth, Im guessing track record
