I don't like this move because I don't like his contract for next season. If it were simply swapping Ward's spot on the bench for Sheffield and using Sheff in a platoon with Fukudome in right, I'd be ok. If he clears waivers, and the Tigers want to pay a large portion of next year's contract, it might be worth considering. If we're going to owe 14 million to Sheffield next year, then pass.
