d-backs have a nice top 3 to their rotation, imagine sheets in there too

Yea they should have skipped LaRoche and Kelly Johnson and just signed Sheets instead.

Given Arizona’s payroll constraints, I don’t see how they could afford to risk signing Sheets. If they rely on him, they’re going to have zero flexibility for the rest of the season. And if he’s a bust, so is the season, basically.
With that said, it’s ballsy to come out and say “We’re willing to take a loss this season to be competitive.” I think it’s that kind of attitude that helps keep fans in the seats.

Lotta money for an injury prone pitcher coming off of a one year layoff. No home town discount for the brewers?

The Padres still have that much left under $40 million.
With the signing of Adams and Hairston willing his arbitration case at $2.9 million they are only at $32.5 million.
Give them a rotation of CY, Sheets, Latos, Correia and Richard with Gallagher, Stauffer, Leblanc, Poreda, Carrillo and Ramos all available for when the inevitable injuries hit.

It’s an interesting situation. Sheets could really re-establish himself by pitching in a relatively stress free environment (SD) in a very pitching friendly park and division. If healthy Sheets can be flipped at the deadline and hopefully the Pads could stock up on more good, young talent.
Of course, he could pitch 50 innings and be totally worthless. Big gamble for a team with a payroll around $40m. Maybe a low base/high incentive deal would work. Something like a $3m base with another $8m or so in performance incentives.

Why is there no news on how sheets threw last night and what the scouts thought of his performance (like there was when chapman threw)???? Come on guys, get with the program and provide us with some detaisl here. For all we know sheets re-tore his flexor again last night????
