I don't think he's necessarily wrong about the Brewers needing to get rid of Sheffield. If the team thought he was tanking plays (and if his teammates did) they were kind of forced to trade him. It would be disaster to keep a guy who's knowingly effing up. Thus isn't a case of Sammy's boom box being too loud. It's a situation where a guy could purposely cost you ball games. This all presumes people could tell he was tanking while with the team. I know he later sort of admitted to it. I don't remember if that was the perception while he was there. Going from 2.9 WAR to -1.3 WAR might have people think you're tanking.
