he's played in atleast 130 games from 1996 to 2005. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Yeah and if he didnt get hurt a lot, then he would have played in a shit ton more, correct?

he wasn't the sole reason they won.

Where did Adam say that?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blackeye.gif.66a1670f5aaf7f406e783a63e3387dc5.gif

He said he played good enough to win a championship. Get your facts right!

When did I EVER say that. Look boner, all I've been trying to say is that the Dodgers made a good pickup getting him. Whether you or anyone else thinks so is irrelevant. I hope NOTHING but the best for the Tigers and Gary Sheffield. But I also think Pierre will help the Dodgers.

terrible deal with pierre. they'll regret. you save this post. probably won't be this year or next year, but by the last 2 years of that contract, they'll be sorry. i wanted detroit to get a leadoff hitter but at that contract, now way. had it been a 4 year 22 million dollar deal, that would've been better

Same could be said about Sheff though.

Yes, and by the 115th year of Leyland's contract the Tigers will be sorry they kept him too???

You're digging too deep now dude. If he gives them 3 good years out of the 5 then he was well worth it.

Sounds to me that is more about the Tigers NOT getting Pierre so now you have to rip on him.

they are only committed to sheffield for 3 years, plus if sheffield is healthy he is capable of 30 homeruns, 110 rbi's, and a near 400 obp, the reward out weighs the risk, and when you look at the free agent market this year, sheffield was the best option

That's the nature of sports nowadays.

Seems as if that's the new trend...you want someone, you're going to end up overpaying on the backend of the deal.

i'd rather have figgins or podsednik then pierre. if LA needed a centerfielder we could've given them monroe for furcal

Pierre aint worth the money he's getting paid

The market is ridiculous right now.

Sheffield is still the man......Tigers are gonna have an awesome offense next year

Yeah they are basically they same type of player. Only thing that I could see better about picking them up over Pierre, would be the money.

Thank you captain obvious. Show me one player that is worth millions of dollars for playing a kids game.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Sheff is a good deal for the Tigers, but I dont see him not getting hurt during those 3 years. So better hope he stays healthy. If he does, good pick up and if he dont then you wasted a lot of money. Such is sports though.
