It would seem like it. A career .170 hitter? As to why he got so much playing time, it would seem that there is not good reason, as he had only a .972 fielding percentage. I am guessing he had some really good dirt on his manager!

That Happened to me Gary Sheffield WAS one my Fav player , and then he went to Detroit, and he said bad stuff about Joe Torre and then i lost all respect for the guy.

What are some of the best seasons a player ever had, like Babe Ruth's 1927 season, etc.
