Sheffield slings mud at Boras
http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7824474?MSNHPHMA
Sheffield hates Boras, says he will tell other clients about bad things he has done. Also story says Arod has not spoken to Boras since he negotiated his new contract. Also I didnt realize that sheffield is only 20 homers shy of 500 and I wanted to see if people here thought he is a future hall of famer. In my opinion he is not and with the steroid cloud surrounding him, im not sure his chances are good. Im putting up a poll just to see what LSB thinks.

HOF
i think if he'd played 3b most of his career he'd be a shoe in.
but he's a corner OFer for most of it.
how many teams has he played for? brewers, pads, marlins, dodgers, braves, yankees, tigers...
for some reason nobody wants him around for long (unless it's that he is truely a greedy mercenary.) but that hurts him more in that there won't be a city (or even 2) where fans and sportswriters will lobby for him.
he's got 1 world series ring.
9 all star appearences.
5 silver sluggers
7 top 10 mvps
adding onto these numbers:
480 home runs
1540 runs
438 doubles
1576 rbi
242 stolen bases
1377 walks
.296 avg
.397 obp
.522 slg
143 ops+
add in the steroid controversy and i'd say he's border line.
who are the other OF's in his era that are about equal or better?
in no order:
vlad guerrero
manny ramirez
ichiro suzuki
barry bonds
sammy sosa
lance berkman
ken griffey
jim edmonds
andruw jones
kenny lofton
albert belle
bernie williams
steve finley
juan gonzalez
larry walker

Yeah...
that is a lot of OFs
I think Sheffield is borderline, but due to steroids won't get in.
nowhere near all of them get in.
barry bonds
ken griffey
manny ramirez
vlad guerrero (assuming he has a couple more good years)
ichiro suzuki (assuming he plays 3 more years)
gary sheffield
sammy sosa
kenny lofton
larry walker
juan gonzalez
bernie williams
albert belle
steve finley
jim edmonds
andruw jones
lance berkman
no more than 5 or 6 of those should get in. i think it's safe to say that albert belle on down won't get in.

Unfortunately for him
I love it...
I hope the young players look at him and take a second look.
