“The Mets might acquire Ben Sheets. He hasn’t pitched professionally in a year, just like the rest of their staff.”
…oh, 2009 Mets, the gift that keeps on giving for jokesters everywhere… it’s a fair point, though, in that, is it smart for the Mets, of all teams, to put stock in a pitcher with his track record, given all the injuries they suffered last season… technically, one has nothing to do with other… but, if the Mets are even a bit concerned that a pitcher or two in the rotation, like John Maine or Oliver Perez, may still have issues next season, it would be wise to acquire more of a sure-thing, despite knowing sheets could end up being the second-best pitcher on the staff, should everything go according to plan…
