Ben Sheets?

I think Ben Sheets could be a good idea. He is coming off of an injury year and no one has yet to look at him, which probably means he will be cheap. Could he be A number 5 starter while Bumgarner develops?

I like the idea..

I just don’t know enough about his situation to give an informed opinion.

No monies for hims.

Matt Cain: throwing complete game shutouts since 06'. No big deal.

I prefer Bedard to Sheets

I'd love to have him on the team

But a from quick look at MLBTR, it seems he wants $12M, and I’d rather the Giants spend that kind of money on hitting. Maybe his price will come down.

I don’t know. With Rich Harden assured of $6.5mil, anything can happen. At least Sheets has pitched a whole season once in his life. Harden has left a trail of broken GM’s dreams.

Too much money for an injured pitcher. If we didn’t give 7.5 to Penny, we’re not giving 12 million to Sheets. Even assuming his price comes down, I don’t see a fit with the Giants. He’s from Louisiana and last year he wanted to sign with Texas.

No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you

I am on this bus.

Might as well bring in Corriea ( if he not too pissed at the way big Head handled him) and save the money for some one that will make a difference among the position players or reserve the money for mid season pick up(s).
