Sheffield to Reds?

The Cincinnati Reds are contemplating an offer for free agent outfielder Gary Sheffield, who was released earlier this week by the Detroit Tigers.

Sheffield, while more of a proven commodity than any of Cincinnati's left field options, is 40 years old and his skills are diminished. He was hitting .178 this spring at the time of his release.

TMD's take: Once again the Cincinnati Reds are pondering a move that would have made sense five years ago. That's when Gary Sheffield was still relevant. They should save their money and give one of their current players (Dickerson, Gomes) the chance to play every day.
