Would you believe....Ben Sheets?

[bani1717]

If the Brewers had signed Sheets to a 3-year deal for $3 million per about 2 months ago, they'd be looking like geniuses right now...

...and if I had a 5th, I'd be drunk.

The answer to that has nothing to do with how great of a pitcher he was when he was with the Brewers.

 

But it does.

but they're all deadly.

 

glad I could assist in hijacking a thread. back on topic: Ben Sheets is cool. I've been the proud owner of a Braves Sheets shirsey for about a month now. Very hopeful/excited to go see him pitch in the playoffs.

My wife and I scoped out a synagogue this week to see if he wanted to join (note: I'm in Atlanta) and the rabbi we spoke with asked where I was from originally. When I said Milwaukee, he brought up Ben Sheets. So, that's a point in the plus column for that temple.

I hope you are sitting down as you read this, because I have shocking news. Ben Sheets is now on the DL.

[Invader3K]

Sheets' career has been one long cruel joke.

Which is why anyone thinking we should go after him at $6 million or more was absolutely crazy, off their rockers...

 

How soon we forget how often the guy was hurt, what made anyone think that would change with age???

 

I loved the dude when he pitched, and really wish things would have turned out better for him, but the fact remains, he is like glass, and you can never count on him.

[Dean Machine]

I am waiting for everyone to explain to me (again) how he isn't injury prone because this particular injury doesn't count.

[brettac1]

That's such a bummer. It is good that it's not supposed to be anything significant, and I hope that's the case.

[Dragonbait]

Bump....

 

Adam McCalvy has a nice little blog post about Sheeter......

[Invader3K]

Yeah, I read that yesterday. Good to hear that Ben Sheets doesn't seem to have any ill feelings toward the Brewers.

[markedman5]

Ben is a class act.

So Sheets returned to Miller Park on Monday with his right shoulder aching but functional, and his sense of humor intact. He threw a simulated game in an effort to convince the Braves to reinstate him from the disabled list, whether to start, to work long relief or even an inning at a time. Asked how that session went, Sheets didn’t miss a beat.

 

“I had to get three outs, so somewhere between 70-100 pitches,” he quipped.

 

...

 

These days, he is working with a shoulder that “hates baseball” but a heart that remains in the game.

I love this guy. Really hope he can come back & contribute again down the stretch for ATL.

Ditto...unless the Brewers are in it obviously. I hope someday Sheets comes back to our organization in some manner. He would be a great color commentator. Replacing Schroeder with Sheets would be a great thing. Or maybe when Uecker hangs it up someday he could step in.

Id love for him to return, but he's entered Cal Eldred/Jaime Navarro territory when it comes to arms.. He seems to tear something picking up a pencil, I cant imagine the frustration and the pain..

Definitely love Sheets and he is still my favorite.
