It served him right. He was a royal pain in the a** making tons of money dishing out nothing but trouble. He got what he deserved. Too bad it didn’t happen 10 years earlier. He can join the miserable Barry Bonds. They deserve each other.

Nah. Sheffield had much more talent, and CHOSE to be a pain in the backside; Bradley has a great level of talent (but not that of Sheffield’s) and has diagnosed psychological issues that he may finally be dealing with.

I thought Kingman was a victim of collusion. Not to say he was a joy to have on a given team, of course. When you have prodigious power and get traded 3 times in one season, that says something right there.

There’s another f missing in that headline and “all trades” is unnecessary.

That actually took me a minute to understand, haha.

To be fair, I don’t think Sheffield “wore out his welcome” in San Diego; that summer, the Padres shed payroll left and right, first disposing of Sheffield, then McGriff, followed by Hurst and Harris. Thus, that he was traded twice from teams looking to shed payroll (’93 Padres and ’97 Marlins) is a more a reflection of teams’ emphasis on the bottom line than it is of Sheffield’s performance or personality.

What jrogowski said. I was in San Diego when he was there, and he was very popular during his brief time with the Padres. That trade drew howls of protest, not only for sending him off, but because we all knew that was just the beginning of the notorious “fire sale.”

He intentionally played badly in Milwaukee in order to force a trade, or at least claimed he did. He shouldn’t be elected to the Hall of Fame as a result.

I will NEVER have the least shred of respect for this jack-hole who admitted that he “dogged it” to get out of Milwaukee.
I am not a Brewers fan, but I AM a baseball fan.
He should have been forced to spend a year on the bus with an A-ball team after a stunt like that.

He will not make the Hall due to his pissy attitude. I always thought he was a dick but who knows how you would act if you had talent and no respect for authority.

He is booed every time he takes the field in Milwaukee even as of last year.

He did more than dog it. He admitted he intentionally made throwing errors in order to get traded. To me that’s the same as throwing a game. He should have been suspended by the Commish after making his comments years ago.
