Anyway, let's see how much they play him.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I was thinking the same thing, rok. If his bat is a little slow, NL pitching may help him look respectable.
I wonder if Minaya thinks that his clubhouse is already so filled with stars that it can withstand Sheff's brooding, volatile personality. Do the Mets really have big holes in the corner OF spots? They may, I don't know.
Also, their new Citi ballbark my be a decent hitter's park, for all we know, and won't depress offensive stats as vigorously as Shea did.
Interesting experiment, but I'm glad Jim didn't bite.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
