Sheffield's Thumb: News Not Good
ESPN.com is carrying this AP article. Sunday's MRI was either inconclusive or rather ugly, leading to this comment:
"Now, I'm officially worried about it," general manager Brian Cashman said.
Sheffield will visit a hand expert in New York this week. This is sounding more and more like surgery.
As I've said before, when Bernie Williams comes back I'd put him in left field and move Matsui to right field in order to keep the defense at or near the same level. Ruben Sierra, Travis Lee and maybe Tony Clark would start games at DH... unless one of them has his roster spot taken by Darren Bragg, of all people. Bragg can play all three outfield positions, and that's something that's getting more valuable as the Yankees' outfielders' bodies continue to malfunction.
Look on the bright side, Yankee fans. All those people who cried about the Yanks being impenetrable, undefeatable overlords who were ruining the sport? Assembling an invulnerable All-Star team? You can now tell them, in the nicest possible terms of course, to shove it. This is only the beginning! Think how much fun we can have when Kevin Brown's arm falls off! Imagine the joy when Posada strains his hip! Man, will we ever have the high ground in that argument then.
Groan.
