Last year Sheff: .265/.378/.462
Last year Dunn: .264/.386/.554

Avg. is the same but the other numbers are pretty significantly better.

those numbers are PRETTY CLOSE.. especially when you consider the fact that sheff plays a SLIGHTLY better defense at this age.. than dunn does when he is in his prime..

.100 points of OPS isn't pretty close.

Umm, no those really aren't that close. And I guess if DH is a defensive position.

And not that it matters, it's not like we can go jump in a time machine and get the Sheffield of last year. He's in decline, end of story.

[Red in Atl]

Sheffield = one of the most overrated of all time!

[Griffey012]

This shouldnt even be a debate right now, Sheffield or anyone else who is near 40 does not fit into our rebuilding/future plans unless they can pitch and pitch well for a relatively cheap price.

[ChatterRed]

I was kinda hoping we would pick up all the waiver wire old guys and start a veteran team.

[cincy14]

Would rather play minor leagers at this point.

Sheffield is one of the meanest, most racist jerks in all of baseball. If I were COMLETELY DESPERATE to win a championship, and he was the "final piece" of the puzzle - I *may* consider him....


....but I would still hate myself for it.

If you don't mind, could you please back up that statement. I'm not a fan of blatant personal attacks such as this. I personally don't know Sheffield.
