Henning "shocked" by Sheffield waiver

I note that Detroit News, Tigers beat writer Lynn Henning says that "just about everyone" was shocked by the waiver of Gary Sheffield. This is on the heels of his colleague, Tom Gage who found the move "stunning".

Who are these guys talking to?

I talked to probably about half of dozen people yesterday and none were surprised by the waiver and one of them told me last week that Sheffield should be released.

Why are two guys who follow the team for a living blindsided by a story when seemingly nobody else was? I find it ironic that two of the guys closest to the team happen to the most surprised by the move.

I think they are too close.
