Sheffield wants to be a Ray?

[redsrbetter]

I just read a tweet from rotoworld that says Sheffield wants to finish his career with the Rays. Interesting...

G. Sheffield -LF-NYM: Sheffield wants to finish career with Rays http://tinyurl.com/n86dhf

More on this per rotoworld:

Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times reports that Gary Sheffield wants to play two more seasons and finish his career with the Rays.
It would be a natural fit for the Tampa-native, but there's nothing to suggest the Rays are interested. Sitting on 2,689 career hits, the 41-year-old Sheffield is holding out hope that he can still reach the 3,000 hit plateau. It's a long-shot. Sheffield batted .276/.372/.451 with 10 home runs and 43 RBI in 268 at-bats with the Mets last season. He hasn't had more than 131 hits in a season since 2005.

Did they not learn from Pat Burrell?

Over his last 100 AB's or so of last season his production really nosedived. Of course that could be explained by taking on a "**** it, I'm playing for the 2009 Mets" attitude or it might be father time smacking him back down (again.) I don't know. Sheff seems ideal though for an AL team short on cash but willing to give AB's and I don't think TB is it (despite how it pretty much is home for him.)

What do you know, Sheffield outlasted both Brian Jordan and Odalis Perez in the major leagues. ****ing Dan Evans.
