Ben Sheets underwent surgery after the season to repair a herniated disc in his lower back . These things are never a good sign. Could he miss opening day? You've been warned. Draft him and you could be a $1,250 donation

Yep, and he pitched 1/2 the year with that herniated disc. No way he can match those numbers with a healthy back.

My thinking is he did it with an ailing back, and if David Wells can come back and pitch effectivley after back surgery, Sheets should be up to the task. What I really want to know is how do you put up numbers like that and go 12-14.

Gordon...If there ends up being a $650 NY Mixed League and you are in it with me, I'll be happy if you choose not to bid on Sheets

Gekko is just toying with you, ignore him and he will go away!
