Ive said it before and I will say it again. The Brewers had a chance to resign Ben SHeets this winter, or last season, or more specifically, the day AFTER Chris Carpenter signed his deal. Carpenter signed something like a 5 year, 65 million dollar deal and I thought the Brewers should have offered the exact same thing to Sheets. Of course, the catch is that SHeets had some annoying injuries at the time, (nothing concerning his arm or shoulder (unlike Carpenter's injury past)), but that is the risk a team like the Brewers might need to take to keep a guy like Benny. The brewers were in a perfect place to get Sheets for a HUGE discount if they wanted too, but they passed, presumably because they were worried that he would get another earache, or tear a freak tendon in his little finger, or some other freak injury that is not more likely to happen to Ben than to any other pitcher. It isnt/wasnt my money and I am no GM, but none of Ben's injuries scared me, just like none of Geoff Jenkins's injuries scared me in the early 2000sl, because Geoff suffered weird/freak injuries (dislocated ankle, broken thumb, seperated shoulder) and sure enough, Geoff has been plenty healthy since then. Now that we have had our chance, and let it go by, Ben is as good as gone. 5-6 years a 16-20 million a year. Book it.
