Curt Schilling has a sub-3 ERA in the closer role in his last 13 appearences. Talk about being unable to do the job.

And we start off the day with the Yanks; Sheffield, in particular. Basically, Gary Sheffield insinuated that Derek Jeter and A-Rod are not the leaders of the Yankees. Guys...are you OK with Sheff's comments? Around the Horn to Fisher.
"Players can't get better over time." -GiantsFanatic
Absolutely. Let's face it, we know A-Rod isn't the leader type, he attached like a fish to the roof of a shark's mouth as soon as he reached New York, a big-me of sorts. I don't know Jeter in the clubhouse, but when Sheffield speaks, as arrogant as he may be at times, he is typically right. If he's been in the clubhouse as long as A-Rod has and says neither of them are leaders, I would think a player with his experience would know. The Yankees need someone to kick them and get them riled up again to catch up to Boston, and with Giambi as their driving force, they need it bad. Good for Gary.

Porter, what say you?
"Players can't get better over time." -GiantsFanatic
I want what Sheff is smoking. Derek Jeter is the captain of this team for a reason. Where does he go off say stuff like that when he almost gets into it with fans, whines about being dealt, and now this? The best thing Gary Mefield needs is a pacifier to shut him up. When has a guy that said he tanked plays to get traded from a team says hes a leader. That just baffles me to no end. Jeter is the leader.

Crf?
"Players can't get better over time." -GiantsFanatic
No, I'm not OK with the comments. First of all, Sheffield doesn't have seniority on that team. Jeter has been a steady and consistent force for the Yankees since he's been there. He's not having his best year this year, but he has still been a part of some of the best Yankees teams in recent memory, which have also been some of the better teams in recent baseball memory. As for A-Rod... he is simply outperforming Sheffield this year. A-Rod has a 1.000 OPS, while Sheffield's is at .915. He has no room to talk about him at all. He needs to shut his mouth and take his frustrations on the team's struggles out elsewhere. And if he wants to blame anyone, how about blaming the starting pitchers, who have been up and down all year long?
