' "I can be in the outfield and play every day. I don't want to DH," Sheffield told the Boston Globe. "I don't feel like a baseball player when I DH.

It's one of those circular arguments-is he struggling because he's not playing, or not playing because he's struggling?

Tonight's Red Sox game should be interesting, considering the slopfest of last night's ballgame.
