http://www.fantasysp.com/mlb_player_news/Gary_Sheffield FantasySP / MLB / Gary Sheffield Copyright 2009 654638 Free-agent OF Gary Sheffield (Mets) has not yet heard from any teams, but said he wants to keep playing, according to Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe. In order to stay in shape, he has hired a nutritionist and is undergoing a grueling workout regimen which includes mixed martial arts and boxing exercises. "I've never worked so hard in the offseason as I have this one," Sheffield said. "I'm 100 percent dedicated to my training. When people tell me I can't do something, I prove them wrong. Just like people thought I couldn't play the outfield last year. I showed them I could. My shoulder came back last year so I can make the throws from the outfield. I feel I still have value." Sheffield said he would be willing to serve as a designated hitter, but would also like to play in the field several times a week. He has 2,689 career hits, and said his family wants him to keep playing until he reaches the 3,000 hit mark. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Gary_Sheffield/654638 654638 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:08:01 EDT kffl.com 14 hours 14 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Gary_Sheffield/654638 Gary Sheffield is dedicated to playing in 2010.

Still, he was one of the team's most consistent sluggers when healthy. A return to an AL team, where he would get the chance to DH, could lead to another productive season for the 40-year-old. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Gary_Sheffield/609015 609015 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:36:16 EDT mlb.com 24 days 14 hours 45 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Gary_Sheffield/609015 The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson reports New York Mets OF Gary Sheffield has told Florida Marlins players that he wants to end his career with the Marlins. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Gary_Sheffield/579287 579287 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 10:32:02 EDT kffl.com 41 days 17 hours 50 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Gary_Sheffield/579287 The New York Post's Ed Robinson and Kevin Kernan report MLB agent Scott Boras is suing former client New York Mets OF Gary Sheffield for $600,000. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Gary_Sheffield/570348 570348 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 10:16:02 EDT kffl.com 46 days 18 hours 6 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Gary_Sheffield/570348
