This is a good signing because the mets absolutely needed another RH bat on the bench and it had become clear that they were refusing to address this once Hernandez came up and Evans went down.

Newest example of this - thinking about sending down Parnell or giving O'Day back to the Angels at the expense of cutting Marlon Anderson. I am still shocked they cut Sanchez making over a million.

That said, when the Mets refuse to admit they made a mistake it usually is about the money - they just do not understand the economics of a sunk cost. Sheffield, becuse he is only making $400,000.00, would never be cost prohibitive to cut.
