With the Mets still trying to sign a starting pitcher and Scott Boras who seems to be waiting for a market to develop John Harper of the Daily News brings up an interesting idea . Should the Mets go after Ben Sheets?
Sheets who went 13-9 last year and had a 3.09 ERA is also waiting for a market to develop for him since he seems injury prone. He was injured last year with a bum flexor tendon in September. He seems to be looking for a long term contract which obviously no one is rushing to give him one due to his injuries over the past couple of years. He only started 17 games in '06 and 24 games in '07 . He had 3-1 strikeout to walk ratio and held batters to a .241 batting average.
If the Mets can sign him to a short term deal like 2 years would it be worth it instead of trying Oliver Perez who Scott Boras wants to get him a 5 year deal?
There is also word that the Phillies might be interested which the Boston Globe has a small snippet on.
If the Mets can get Oliver to except 4 years I would like to see the Mets obtain him but the last thing I want is the Phillies to have a 1-2 of Hamels and a healthy Sheets.
