Sheff In '07?

Via Bob Nightengale -

Yankees right fielder Gary Sheffield, who was planning on retiring after this season, says he has reconsidered and expects to play after his contract expires. The Yankees have a $13 million club option for 2007.

Maybe Yankees fans will get to see Gary's 500th? Here's a thought: If Sheffield plays 4 years in New York, and makes Cooperstown, does he go in as a Yankee? A case could be made for the Yankees cap - considering how often he's moved around.

That's a very good question. I'd probably say he either goes in as a Marlin or as a Yank.

For a player as good as he is, he's sure moved around a lot

He should go in as a Yankee. I have been impressed with his demeanor as a Yank, marked by his restraint after the masshole hit him in the face, and I believe he was taken out of context in that interview that year.

Sheffield is a Yankee.
