A Thread Tribute to Gary Sheffield, and introducing the 'Shef-O-Meter'
Okay, so I'm a bitter jilted Dodger fan obsessing over something I should really let go. Still I can't get him off my mind.
... must warn them some how. Sheffield is a brewing storm waiting to blow through the hearts of Braves fans. If only this could be illustrated somehow. The fans could be warned...  the facts so far: Sheffield's Avg.:____________________Brian Jordan's Avg.: .230____________________________________.250 Atlanta 16-16, 2.5 games back of 1st place Mets Last edited by BigStinky; 05-05-02 at 11:25 PM. |

I must be missing something.. despite sheffield's wrist injury.. which lead to the hitting slump, he has basically the same numbers as jordan.
braves are .500 and a couple games back dodgers are a couple games over .500 and a couple games back  neither team has been helped or hurt greatly by thisexcept that gary has much more potential for greatness then brian.. and odalis is pitching like a mad man for LA. I really like jordan and perez, and hated seeing them go.. but even now, there is no way I would ever pass up this trade Brian Jordan:

Sheffield has to get healthy before he can turn it back around. Anyone here ever try batting with a bum wrist? Ugh, why am I defending an Atlanta Brave, I hate the Braves. I still have images of the slowest player in the league at the time, Sid Bream, scoring on Francisco Cabrerra's single to beat the Pirates in Game 7 to go to the World Series. Damn that Barry Bonds, why couldn't the throw be on line?

But, I'll stand by my statement from a prediction thread not long ago. If the Braves underperform this year then Sheffield will be unhappy. And when he's unhappy he has a way of making the team and the fans unhappy. No one's talked yet about the Braves aging pitching staff. Is Braves pitching still what it used to be? |

 and glavine is still putting up great numbers (5-1, .93 era) maddux continues to produce, but has had his injury troubles this year millwood is about the same as always lopez looks like a very solid young pitcher and smoltz has 11 saves remlinger is a helluva mid relief guy.. and spooneybarger and holmes have been doing a solid job there.. like last year, the braves have been failing to put up the runs but I guess your right.. atlanta is currently only #4 in the NL in pitching, where they are normally #1 |

Also consider the effect the trade is having on Shawn Green.

For what its worth, Shef's been trying to get over his wrist injury. I can't imagine how hard it is to swing a bat the way he does with a wrist injury. Not so coincidentally, he was batting over .300 before getting hit by that pitch.
Call me crazy... or just call me a Braves fan... but it seems to me that once he's past this bruised wrist, he should be back to normal.... and the Braves will be able to score some runs again. jay

Just because baseball is a funny game, tonight, Brian Jordan hit a home run to put LA up 5-4 in the top of th 9th, and Gary Sheffield hit a home run to tie it up in the bottom of the 9th.

A pre- All-Star break thread resurrection here... So, as of 6/25, here run the statistics...
Sheffield G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS OBP SLG AVG 62 232 33 61 7 0 11 34 32 32 7 0 .361 .435 .263 Jordan G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS OBP SLG AVG 64 238 42 66 15 3 11 38 20 40 0 1 .335 .504 .277 And as and added bonus, here's some pitching statistics from Odalis Perez... G GS CG SHO IP H R ER HR BB SO W L Sv 15 15 2 1 116.0 84 30 30 8 15 79 9 3 0 P/GS BAA ERA 94.3 .206 2.33 So, it seems that Jordan and Sheffied are about even, but when the Odalis element is factored in, the Shef-O-Meter tips quite favorably in the direction of the Dodgers.

I think the trade is still good for Atlanta. Sheffield needs to rest over the 3 days for the all star break and then come back during the 2nd half with a vengeance. I think he'll finish the season in fine form.
As for our starting pitching, Glavine Maddux Millwood Marquis Moss That's 2 lefty's and 3 righties, a couple of power pitchers and some finesse pitchers. I think we are doing alright with them... I just hope Cox gives up on Albie Lopez as a starter. The guy just hasn't got it, as the Mets proved tonight. |

he is doing very well in LA, but he never put up those types of numbers and probably wouldnt have ever been given the opportunity here in atlanta.. considering atlanta's starting pitchers have the best era in the majors (as far as that goes, their relief pitchers also have the best era in the majors).. as far as gary vs brian.. its a wash.. they have both been about even.. but I think sheff has fit in well with the team.. and part of the reason why they have gone 17-5 so far in june and are 17 games over 500, with a strong lead on first. sheff was one of the bigger trades made, and the team is doing much better this season, then they were at this time last season. |
