It's only Spring Training after all.I'd like to welcome you all to a new season. Yes, I know I'm a few days late, but I expect the 2007 season to be a good one. I'll be here for most of the games and I hope that yPlayers' talking never bothers me. A player can talk to death I won't give a hoot! It's what he does at the plate and in the field that concern me.http://www.myyesnetwork.com/go/thread/view/82290/20634418/Game_Thread:_37,_Reds_vs._Yankees,_7:15_pm,_YES?post_id=355365162#355365162Players' talking never bothers me.

Sheff was frightening to pitchers at th plate. Sheff had an intensity that this team needs. Bobby Abreu is laid back, and while that's "nice" and all in the cluhttp://www.myyesnetwork.com/go/thread/view/82290/20634418/Game_Thread:_37,_Reds_vs._Yankees,_7:15_pm,_YES?post_id=355365118#355365118Here's the thing: I love Bobby Abreu, HOWEVER, he is not the player Sheff was/is.

We wouldn't have traded for Abreu and we wouldn't have had a crowded outfield. We had 6 outfielders (Bernie included) for 3 outfield slots.

We have a guy maybe not a homerun hitter anymore but he is a contact guy that takes his walks inhttp://www.myyesnetwork.com/go/thread/view/82290/20634418/Game_Thread:_37,_Reds_vs._Yankees,_7:15_pm,_YES?post_id=355365010#355365010See the problem with that is, it was either playing Sheffield at 1st (gasp!) or making Sheff come off the bench, which we would never hear his yap shut.

Can't say enough about Sheff and it sickened me to see what people said about him at the end of the season and during the winter. And yes I believe we were the two people on the old boards that defended him.Anyway, it's beehttp://www.myyesnetwork.com/go/thread/view/82290/20634418/Game_Thread:_37,_Reds_vs._Yankees,_7:15_pm,_YES?post_id=355364990#355364990You said it perfectly.

Personally, I don't think anyone on the team cared about his comments to the press and I think he was pretty well liked (how he got labeled as a cancer I'll never know).

I really don't think his batting has changed much from 05.. MVP or not (and I chose NOT).. I didn't think he was clutch that year. I don't care WHAT the end of the year stats said.. I wasn't happy with his hitting all year.Sehttp://www.myyesnetwork.com/go/thread/view/82290/20634418/Game_Thread:_37,_Reds_vs._Yankees,_7:15_pm,_YES?post_id=355364978#355364978That's the weird thing..
