Make of This What You Will

Presented without comment:

Tigers slugger Gary Sheffield told USA Today that he doesn’t plan to cooperate with Major League Baseball’s steroids investigation, joining Barry Bonds as players who have said they will not cooperate.

“The [players’] association told us this is just a witch hunt,” Sheffield told USA Today. “They don’t want us to talk to them. This is all about getting [Bonds].

“If this was legitimate and they did it the right way, it would be different. But this a witch hunt. They’re just trying to collect a lot of stuff that doesn’t make any sense and throw the [expletive] against the wall.”

However, later Tuesday Sheffield backtracked from those comments, telling SI.com that “I’ll let the Players Association make the call whether I should.”
