With Carlos Delgado on the DL for the time being the Mets need to have some punch in the lineup to replace him. Here is where Gary Sheffield steps in. He has been slotted in as the # 4 hitter between Beltran and Wright and has done the job asked of him.
He is batting .364 in the month of May and has scored 12 runs. in the last week he is hitting .429 and has a .500 on base percentage. The guy obviously still can be useful to the Mets.
Lets not forget though he is no young chicken. He is 40 years old and is coming off a couple of sub par seasons due to his shoulder injury. I just do not want Jerry Manuel to tax the poor guy.
Even if he is needed I would like to see him rested at the beginning of the Dodger Series. Lets make sure the guy does not join Delgado on the DL!
