Relax..Boston will start to hit again,aand the Yankees are a severely, structurally unsound and unbalanced team now...and look who's gonna come in for the Yankees to face Big Pappi in the late innings..Embree or Leiter...Sheffield being only able to DH really hurts the Yankees...
The Sox and Yanks are both severely flawed teams, and I think the Sox get the slight nod as the less severely flawed of the two. I like the Yanks' starters slightly better than ours, but I like our offense and our bullpen better than I like the Yanks' D or bullpen (except for Mariano, of course).
Ortiz should command a lot of respect for this year's AL MVP, as well.
Being an everyday DH requires a totally different mindset. Sheff may not be up to it, especially with such short notice.
