] "I realize I'm at a point in my career where I realize I'm not the marquee guy to come in here and demand anything - demand a position or anything," said Sheffield, 40. "Now I'm so much at peace with where I'm at. Coming in here, I want to win a championship. If it takes me coming off the bench to do that, I'm willing to do that. That's pretty much as far as it goes We'll see Gary , we'll see. Wright helped recruit him....as did Uncle Dwight ]" Jimmy Rollins is probably one of my biggest friends in baseball, and that was tough for me," Sheffield said. "Talking to [Reds manager] Dusty Baker was tough. That was one of the biggest reasons why I made the decision, when you have the face of the franchise making a phone call to you. That was very important to me." "He's ecstatic," Sheffield said. "He was pushing me off the couch. I was content to be with my wife and my kids and they were all yelling at me, 'You still have something left. Just go out and show the world that you got it.' [Gooden] has been blowing my phone up all day today, too. He's just glad I made the move and we're making history at the same time." Wright sent a text to Gary...

Voted I like it.....

The bullpens do look odd even by todays standards which themselves seem odd to me. They had a shot last night and the visitors bullpen is only slightly higher than the home bullpen in front of it . The Boston players looked like they were in holding pens not unlike those you would see in Gitmo staring out through the wire mesh separating the bullpens.

That little jut in the stand down right field is going to be a real balls , Tatis had that and then nothing.

="Nymr83"]In the post this morning Sherman says bad things about the New Yankee stadium while Kevin Kernan has some faint praise for Citi Field (though more dumping on Shea) Sherman just about takes a dump on the doorstep of the new MYF stadium I'm biased of course but I have tuned into YES a few times and if I didn't know better I would think they were playing the the MFYII.... IN TOUGH TIMES, A MONUMENT TO GREED ] IT IS beautiful, of course. But in the way that a woman who went to the world's best plastic surgeon might be beautiful. It is supposed to remind you of the previous incarnation, and ends up feeling artificial and overdone. The new Yankee Stadium has just about everything you would want in a modern sports facility, except charm and a sense of proportion. If you can afford the prices, you should have a good time there. The sightlines are wonderful. The large screen in center field is so clear you really do feel as if you could reach out and touch the people on it. The concourses are wide, and the food choices abundant. Yet the place brought nausea, not nostalgia. It just feels like the wrong time in the history of this country and this city to be opening up the George Mahal. When the project was initiated 2 � years ago, the Yankees could not have known what the state of the economy was going to be now. But this is about more than wrong place, wrong time. The Yankees' sense of entitlement and unrestrained excess is timeless. They will tell you they built this stadium for the everyman, stressing what they consider still affordable pricing and amenities. But this stadium, in actuality, was built for a moneyed class that in many respects does not even exist in this city any longer. Those $2,625-per-game Legends tickets behind home plate are selling slowly, and that certainly is because there is a whole class of banking/Wall Street/real estate mogul who would have scooped them up but has gone the way of flannel uniforms. But also because those seats not long ago would have screamed status, and now speak only to greed. The working world will not look onto those sitting there with envy. They will wish that those seats came with a dunk tank, not waiter service. The Yanks also want to make you believe that the history and romance could be easily shipped from the old place to the new one simply by recreating dimensions, reconstructing the facade or replanting Monument Park. However, the new Stadium didn't make me think of the place just across the street. It made me think about Vegas or Disney World, since it made me think of a fake place designed to manipulate my emotions and get into my wallet. "We don't see it as ostentatious or flashy," Hal Steinbrenner said. "We see it as classy." For me, class is out. In truth, sadly, the Yanks have conjured up a building that defines them: cold, corporate, over-privileged. At a financially distressed time in which Bud Selig has appealed to teams and players to be more fan friendly than ever, the Yanks have constructed even more of a moat between their players and those paying for all the goodies. For example, Yankee executives see it as a positive that the players now have underground parking rather than in the old place, where they had to walk 50 feet outdoors from the parking lot to the Stadium. In those 50 feet, fans held back by barricades could scream to their favorite players and -- if one of those players indulged -- get an autograph or two. Now the interaction between fans and players, and media and players, will be less than ever. I know no one sheds a tear for the media, but I think the new clubhouse, overstocked with off-limits areas and clandestine exits, only leads to a group that will feel less accountability. And an over-privileged nature and lack of accountability have hurt recent editions of the Yankees. "We are not a regular team," Brian Bruney said. "We are the New York Yankees, and it has to be nicer." Nice is in the eye of the beholder, and if you work for one of those few places left where the corporate card is still set on unlimited, then the new Yankee Stadium is for you. For many others, this place will have all the charm of Bernie Madoff.

I can't wait to go , the wife was just saying to me we should get tickets soon.

Green wearing #48 tonight . what's the story?

Keven Burkhardt beats all , talking to the booth about the stadium he remarked how he was in the Rotunda and saw a guy video taping in there and suggested that someone call security because he wasn't sure if that was legal.....a terrorist perhaps Kevin....fucking twat

That needs a lot of dents in it.....too shiny.

Looks a bit like Kevin Appier when I first took notice , Appier featured that stance quite a bit too IIRC.

="Benjamin Grimm"]That photo is even more gay than the one of Alex Rodriguez snogging his reflection in the mirror. OK , this one is more fierce

Would even Sheffield cross these two ?...I think not

Ken Davidoff ] It will be interesting to see how Sheff would function in this Mets clubhouse. When he was with the Yankees, Sheffield knew that he couldn't cross Derek Jeter. Will Sheffield respect anyone in this clubhouse the same way? Probably not. But again - if he hits, his personality isn't much of an issue. If he doesn't hit, he's out. mind boggling

Sheffield always wanted to be a Mets player.......I'm sure of it...

Yes he is good , better than we were led to believe I think....

Yeah his glove isn't great but neither is Murphy's or Church's defense that great. Sheff is a real gansta for Jerry

="soupcan"]Delgado, last night. Cool, huh? Beautiful picture , one for the mantle I should think. This story went with that picture in the NY Times ] Mets Get a Late-Night Sneak Preview of Citi Field By BEN SHPIGEL Published: April 3, 2009 Out from the buses they spilled, marching through a gate, down a corridor and around a corner until, finally, there it was. Home. The Mets� shiny, new clubhouse awaited. And as Carlos Delgado poked his head inside at about 10:55 p.m. Thursday, he surveyed the sheer size of it all and said, �Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the big leagues.� His teammates, arriving at Citi Field fresh off a flight from Florida that landed two and a half hours late, followed suit, each more mesmerized than the next. After locating his locker, Jos� Reyes opened a cabinet and wondered aloud how much clothes he could fit inside. Pedro Feliciano plopped into his ergonomic chair. Shaking his head, Razor Shines could manage only a �Wow.� Then he said it again. �I�m overwhelmed,� Bobby Parnell said. �The other guys, they�re used to this.� Their curiosity piqued, players wheeled their hand luggage to their lockers and started to explore. John Maine and Mike Pelfrey bounded down the steps, past the sprint track. �Mainer, you want to race?� Pelfrey said. Ascending another set of stairs, they funneled into the dugout, joining Delgado and Carlos Beltr�n. Everyone looked up, almost instinctively, and then out, to the fences, scoping out the dimensions. Ryan Church, pointing toward the 415-foot marker in right-center field, told Delgado, �I don�t think they made it deep enough.� For the occasion, the lights had been turned on � �I should have brought sunscreen,� Darren O�Day said � and the grass glistened. But with rain in the forecast for Friday, when the Mets are scheduled to play Boston in an exhibition game, a tarp lay over the infield, preventing Johan Santana and friends from climbing the mound. Undeterred, many of the pitchers walked in the grass toward right-center, toward the bullpen, as quickly as their suits and dress shoes would allow them. Every few feet, J. J. Putz stopped, pointed the camera on his cellphone and snapped. The Mets occupy the bottom level of the two-tiered bullpen � just as the Phillies do in their ballpark � and the bullpen catcher Dave Racaniello wandered in. Assessing where the plate will be, he got into a crouch for a few seconds. As �In My Life� by the Beatles played, the lights suddenly went out. All part of the plan, explained Jeff Wilpon, the team�s chief operating officer, as a montage of highlights, player introductions and construction footage played on the video screen. Luis Alicea, the first-base coach, spotted Wilpon and thanked him. �Beautiful,� Alicea told him. �Absolutely beautiful.� When it ended, Wilpon escorted everyone into a tunnel behind the plate that led to the Jackie Robinson Rotunda. As workers took a break from polishing the terrazzo floors, Jerry Manuel and Sandy Alomar Sr. walked slowly, taking time to read each of Robinson�s nine values, which are inscribed in the floor. Behind them, Putz slipped his feet into Robinson�s footprints. They matched. �Size 14,� Putz said. On the way back inside, Howard Johnson took a detour to show two of his apt pupils, Nick Evans and Daniel Murphy, the video room and the batting cage. Murphy gazed through the window. The door was locked. �Tomorrow,� Murphy said.

#16 is available...Pagan was the last to wear it...

I just went to Murphy's page and wow that hit me , then I saw this thread.

Not saying that's what I want but it seems likely to me.

I would think that he pushes Murphy to the bench. Daniel is lovely and all but he is a rookie.

Probably they will cut Anderson to make room which should cheer up several people here

If Minaya wanted to sign a malcontent then he should have tired for Manny Ramirez .

The article was rubbish too.

Aspromonte, probably. And Hebner and Davis. G-Fafif Apr 03 2009 01:00 PM 1966 Charley Smith? G-Fafif Apr 03 2009 01:01 PM Leon "Motor" Brown was actually my first guess and I changed it to Pepe. 1996: Alvaro Espinoza? Benjamin Grimm Apr 03 2009 01:02 PM Smith is wrong, Alvaro Espinoza is correct. G-Fafif Apr 03 2009 01:02 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 03 2009 01:03 PM 1972 EDIT Joe Nolan? John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 03 2009 01:03 PM 1965 Duke Carmel 1966 Ed Bressoud G-Fafif Apr 03 2009 01:03 PM Bressoud is a GREAT guess/answer. He owned the SS HR record forever. Benjamin Grimm Apr 03 2009 01:06 PM No Nolan. Not Carmel, either. Ed Bressoud is correct.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 03 2009 01:51 PM Okay, time to flip the cards are reveal the answers. Good job everyone. We'll be back on Monday to do the pitchers.
