Gary Sheffield: Pinstripes in 2007?
When Gary Sheffield arrived at Legends Field for spring training yesterday, Brian Cashman pulled him aside to have a closed door conversation.
Gary Sheffield emerged from this impromptu meeting in great spirits, telling reporters that the Yankees intend to pick up his 13 million dollar option for 2007.
Gary mentioned that he would love to see him and A-Rod reach the 500 HR plateau while playing for the same team in the same season. And this is likely to happen for both of them in 2007. Gary currently stands at 449 and Alex stands at 429.
It's amazing that Gary Sheffield has not declined in skill level over the past two seasons. He is the same age as Bernie Williams, and while Bernie's production has noticeably declined, Gary has been hitting and playing as well as ever. He is still arguably the most feared right handed batter in major league baseball.
Let's hope that Gary Sheffield continues to produce good numbers for the Yankees and that he remains a part of the club in 2007 and beyond.
