Despite his early struggles, Gary Sheffield will remain in the third spot in the lineup for the Tigers, according to the Detroit News. "I still think they pitch him as tough as anybody in the lineup. One of the reasons I leave him up there is because they're going to walk him because they pitch him so tough," Leyland said. "The other thing is it's too early to decide if he's just not going to hit," Leyland added. "If he's healthy, we're going to find out. I think it's a fair question, though, but I also wonder where those people think I should hit him." "I've never really bought into having somebody else in the lineup. If he's not going to hit, don't play him. I'm not talking about Sheffield in particular; I'm talking about anybody."
