    Sheffield to Tigers???


    Strong rumours out of Detroit have Sheffield going to the Tigers for Jordan Tata and Omar Infante.

    There's also rumours that Guillen will be moved to 1st base with the Tigers looking for another SS.

    First of all, Jordan Tata sounds like the name of a woman starring in Big Bootylicious Babes 13. I bet he was ribbed mercilessly as a teenager.

    Second, he better be damn good to warrant being traded for Gary Sheffield..I've never heard of him though.

      Then again, GBrushTWood could pass as the guy in BBB 13.

      I had heard a pitcher would have to be included, possibly Nate Robertson.

          I don't see the Tigers taking Sheffield. Maybe for Tata and Infante (not sure that would be enough), but I wouldn't fire a starter over board for Sheff.

            I've heard this before. I guess you guys have never heard or played Monkey Island. GBrushTWood = Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate. It was one of my favorite games as a child. It is certainly no reference to the other kind of wood. And what would a brush have to do with wood anyways? Beats me (no pun intended).

              That would be akin to selling their soul if they went and got Sheff. However, if it's just for those two guys then it isn't too bad. I don't think they should have to send a pitcher over to NYY either besides, I just can't see Nate Robertson in a Yankee uniform.

                      I've heard that some people in the organization still feel he's going to be a starter.

                      Anyway, Tata is a highly touted pitching prospect. In fact, if you look at Baseballs Top prospects the Tigs have a number of very good young arms in their system.
                      And the Yanks really want to dump Sheffield. He's not going to be allowed to play RF in New York and he despises 1B. With Ordonez looking worse and worse in the outfield I think the Tigers would love to make this deal.

                          Detroit would be foolish to make that deal. Isnt Sheffield almost 40? Why would you give up a young, good arm for a RF--something you can get in free agency? And it also doesnt make sense for the Tigers to trade with the Yankees. Since they could conceivably be butting heads for the next few years in October. Actually the Tigers might be better off signing JD Drew than Sheffield.

                            They wanted to try Z in a starters role just after the all star break this year, but he wasnt interested. Was a starter in the minors, but its hard to ignore what he could do as a closer.

                              I think he's great as a closer too, but some 'experts' say that being a closer is a lot harder on the arm and they fear they might ruin his before he's 28.

                              I agree. Sheffield's 38 and Drew is 31. Drew is a left handed stick and can be had without giving up any prospects/players.
                              The only thing is Sheffield still has power and can hit in that 4th, 5th spot while Drew is more of a 6h, 7th guy.

                              But you're right, the Tigers can get a much better, younger stick for some of the prospects they have going on.
                              If the rumours are true that they might move Guillen to 1B, I wonder if they would go after A-Rod to fill the SS spot? I hope not.
