Serves him right for leaving us for just about the worst team that he could pick. I understand that it's all about money - that's why he left in the first place. My main theory is that when he wanted to renegotiate his contract mid-season, and the Braves said no, he felt dejected and never fully got over that. When NY came in and offerred him Steinbrenner dollars, he took them. Basically, he pulled a Glavine. Hope he sucks while he's there, though I don't see that happening this time.
And I think that it's debatable as to whether or not surgery would benefit him more or not. His health would stand to prosper more from it, but his career wouldn't. Shef's getting old, and he needs to keep playing to stay in stride. Who knows what could happen if he goes under the knife now . . .
