Ben Sheets??

by GB Nordic on Jan 22, 2009 8:33 AM CST Comment 10 comments

With Ben Sheets still unsigned for the this upcoming season, it is quite interesting.I know that he has had injury issues in the past.He has proven over the years' to be a good starting pitcher. He was a All-Star pitcher last season so why not Brewers.I was wondering if anyone knows if the Crew is going after after him. If not him whom are they going to replace with the gapping hole in the starting pitching rotation?

It sounds like

Sheets doesn’t have much interest in coming back. Kind of an anti-hometown discount: we might have to overpay (Overbay?) to get him to re-sign.

Door almost closed

As I pointed out in an earlier post (Melvin-talk), I saw Melvin speak on Monday and he sounded pessimistic about Sheets coming back. However, as he said, “the door is not completely closed.” I’m guessing the only way he comes back is if the offers simply aren’t there from other teams and his price drops significantly.

I understand his hesitance not to resign here and, if he moves on, I wish him all the best.

Now, here’s a fat man throwing a hot pocket:

When did

Ray King find time to grow all that hair?

Doesn’t seem to have helped his command
