Holy shit.

In that case, I'm glad we passed on him.

Ok, now I'm wondering what the price range on Wang will be.....

so is your mom.

[Brock]

That can't be $10 million per year plus incentives.

[ColoradoCub]

That's what Heyman is reporting... it's only a one year deal.

[Brock]

Yeah I did just see that. That's insane.

Other reports say $8 million.

It's hard to see the upside of this deal for the A's. If he pitches well...then he earns his salary, but there's no way the A's will be able to keep him beyond this year. So, it's like he's auditioning for free agency again, but getting paid like there's no risk. He must have a great agent.

[The Dude]

He must have looked really good at the workout.

Well...it's clearly your attitude that did her in.

[Clapp]

This is the dumbest deal I've seen in a long time. Id have a real hard time giving Sheets that much money even if he had been healthy the previous year. Way too much money for a coin flip. And still, even if he's healthy, 10 million is a lot for a 12-win pitcher. I'm not a big wins stat guy for pitchers, but there's reasons aside from health that he doesn't put together 15-win seasons. He's a giant puss.

Like Rok, I don't believe that the A's will have Sheets on the squad if they aren't leading the West by early June.

My guess is that the A's will attempt to trade Sheets for a small ransom of prospects + cash before the All Star break as long as Sheets pitches well.

If you aren't planning to have to pay him, the As could afford to give him a large contract. The plan blows up if either Sheets can't pitch or the As win early and often.
