Oh, By The Way, Rangers Will Pass On Gary Sheffield

One homer shy of 500, the Sheff  was released yesterday by Detroit. One word response I got from the Rangers on him was: “Pass.”

Over  the last two seasons, both Sheffield, now 40, and Jones have seen their performances decline significantly. But Sheffield’s has leaked a little less than Jones’. Sheffield has hit .247 with a .787 OPS and 44 homers in 912 at-bats. Jones: .225 batting average, .666 OPS and 29 homers in 781 at-bats.

The thinking, I believe, is that Jones can still play at least adequate defense and he’s got more chance of recovery at age 31 (he turns 32 on April 23) than Sheffield does.
