After-Hours Astrology: Ben Sheets

So let's say you're Ben Sheets. Yes, I know your elbow hurts...and your back. What? You're dizzy? Perhaps you should sit down...and stop pretending you're Ben Sheets, before you really do hurt yourself. At any rate, if you were Ben Sheets, you'd still be a free agent amidst signs that the market for your services may never actually heat up. But today could be a good day to get things started. Sheets was born on July 18, making him a Cancer (no jokes, please):

You may feel as though you could conquer the world today. This is a great time to get things done as quickly as possible. This should be one of those very welcome days during which you feel good and so does everyone else. Be sure to keep an open mind about all ideas or proposals--paying attention the details involved. Use the confidence you feel now to get the most pressing projects at work completed--there is considerable success yet to be enjoyed. You feel nothing but warmth, generosity and affection toward everybody around you and they in turn reflect it all back to you. Your benevolence extends to strangers as well--everyone you attract will be in a good mood. Relations with partners are both easygoing and rewarding.

I know I broke down Doug Melvin's horoscope line by line, but all of this seems to point in the same direction. Let's get a deal done with Ben Sheets, right now.

one observation

Whenever I cruise through Rangers comments or blogs, there are people who refer to him as wanting a 2 year deal.

I think, if it's possible, it would be better to sign him to a one year deal, though.

Best case scenario would be a one year deal with a team option for a second that would become guaranteed if he were to reach a certain number of innings.

The one year deal would be better because it would give him more incentive to stay healthy and pitch well as his next contract is coming up sooner. Though I suppose, maybe after all of this, he would have to prove he can stay healthy a couple straight years anyway.

I think, if it’s possible, I’d like the economy to be fixed overnight.

Haha, fair enough.

Though I think the odds of signing Sheets to a one year deal are a lot better than the economy being fixed overnight, what with nobody offering him any kind of contract yet.
