Excluding the first 5 weeks of the season, sheff has been the most comsistant player in this lineup. I think he really has carried the team. If they didn't have sheff, the yankees would be probably 3 or 4 games behind the red sox. You can make the same arguement for vlad,consistant, carries the team, but I give sheff the edge just because he's hurt. The whole yankee lineup has been somewhat of a dissapointment excluding matsui and sheff. A rod,jeter, posada bernie all have had ups and downs.
