This isn’t a grammar test. Matt makes spelling mistakes all the time. Let’s move on and understand that we are here to share opinions, not get schooled.

I see a 6-8 mil per year deal with mucho inscentives in Sheets’ and Harden’s futures.
I think that the Mets need a strikeout pitcher, not a ground ball pitcher like Piniero, given that the Citi is a pitchers park, no point in signing a ground ball pitcher.

I think at this point, I would rather them offer the money to Rich Harden if they were gambling on the often injured TOR starter.

sign him to a contract, like Redding … and if it works out – great …. if not, no big loss …. just don’t count on him as a #2.

of course, it would take a bit more $$$$

Sheets brought in as a complimentary playe r = good

Sheets brought in as the big rotation upgrade = bad

I agree that he is worth the risk, but I imagine a lot of teams will offer up 1 year incentive deals, including Texas, where it seems he really wants to be. But, could be great for the Mets to get him.

Might have to wait until ST is starting to show that his is able to pitch before he gets a deal however.

better a year year, incentive laden deal on a guy with ace stuff if healthy, than 10mill guaranteed for 2-3 for a guy that is at best mediocre.

you can pay for healthy or performance really, but helathy guys often get hurt, but rarely get good when they never were before!

The word is “then” with an “e.” Than, with an “a” is part of a comparison.

Absolutely worth a gamble.

Giving him or Rich Harden one year and 6-8 million is a much smaller risk than giving a scrub like Ollie 3 years, 36 million or a one-year wonder like Joel Piniero 3 years 30 million.

If it doesn’t work out, so be it. At least they took a shot. And they wont be locked into bad pitching contracts when next year’s stud free agent pitchers are available.

Even though, Omar sid he wants to stay away from injury prone players, he should still check them out. Agreed that Sheets is beast when he is healthy
