All three of those scenarios seem better then whats happening now.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00140063912226053155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17907776.post-46849009410623162242008-07-15T12:35:00.000-04:002008-07-15T12:35:00.000-04:00Jim Leyland has shown he has little concern about ...Jim Leyland has shown he has little concern about whether or not someone is producing "if " he is one of HIS guys. How else can you explain playing Sheff at all? In fact Renteria who isn't producing at all will be back in the lineup playing over Santiago who is leading the team in hitting in his limited role, plays a better SS and has produced in almost every game he plays, But Renteria is one ofWest Coasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13968877989915058303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17907776.post-84963074551765608682008-07-15T12:03:00.000-04:002008-07-15T12:03:00.000-04:00I doubt they'll release him but I agree that he's ...I doubt they'll release him but I agree that he's hurting the team. When Ordonez gets back this week, I think some unpopular roster and line-up decisions will be made.

He's paid too much money and you very rarely see the plug pulled on a guy this early.<BR/><BR/>I can see it playing out like it did with Richie Sexson. Sexson actually made (I think) more than Sheffield is in the last year of his deal right now.
