Gary Sheffield is taking a new approach as he enters his 21st season in the majors: He wants to cut back on controversial remarks.
The Detroit Tigers designated hitter was true to his word Tuesday. He declined comment before the team's first full-squad workout.
A year ago, Sheffield criticized his former agent, Scott Boras. The slugger said he would have more to say when a dispute between them was settled. An arbitrator decided in October that Sheffield owed Boras $550,000 for eliminating a 2004 option that allowed him to become a free agent.
Sheffield is one homer from reaching No. 500.
It has only taken 21 years for Sheffield to learn he should cut back on his controversial remarks? I think the line was at 33 years.
Does this mean Torre didn't really favor white players?
Sheffield has had a truly outstanding career that was probably overlooked for years but now he won't get any respect with the steroid implications, pretty similar to Palmeiro in that regard. He may not have called everyone a racist quite like the Sheff, but he loved to poke his finger (at Congress) and talk about that little pill.
"I take batting practice, I take fielding practice, I take Viagra"
In case you were wondering, the entire point of this was to get to the Viagra commercial
