Anyone looking for a Sheff?

With Dontrelle Willis on the disabled list due to an anxiety disorder, the Detroit Tigers apparently did not want to deal with another head case.

Los Tigres have released nine-time All-Star Gary Sheffield, who still believes he can be an outfielder. And while the Cubs already have enough head case outfielders, I feel as if adding Sheffield's right-handed stick as an insurance policy might be a good idea.

You know, for when Alfonso Soriano pulls a toe nail and is out 3-6 weeks. Or when Milton Bradley gets suspended for strangling the ivy in the right field corner. Ooh, or when Kosuke Fukudome is deported by Cubs fans who decide they're sick of him twisting himself into the left-handed batter's box on a swing and a miss.

Because last time I checked the Cubs' active roster, its void of a right-handed masher off the bench.
