The Davey Johnson In Me Wants To Start Sheffield At Shortstop For The New York Mets

SS

So this is "crazy talk" but since I have been waxing poetic about Davey Johnson's penchant for getting away with just about anyone at shortstop....
 
(Assuming Reyes is out) how about when the Mets have a fly-ball pitcher on the mound (say Santana) they stick Gary Sheffield at shortstop?  Yeah it's insane but do you have a better option an short right now?
 
Sheff came up as a SS, played a whopping 94 games there, none since 1989....but in theory all he needs to do is stand there in-between at-bats.  We did win a championship with Kevin Mitchell playing shortstop in 24 games.
 
Maybe you prefer having Ramon Martinez up when the game is on the line.  I'd rather bring him in for defense late in the game.
 
Crazy talk...off day.....no better options....hit comments and start ripping the idea.

Mr. MetsPolice, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
