It wold be one thing to be signing him as a free agent, but to be giving up everything the Padres seem to be asking for seems ridiculous to me. I am with Cap on the sign Sheets noise.

i'll take a possible injury risk with peavy over a guaranteed injury risk with sheets. if the peavy thing falls through, i'd give sheets a shot, but only for one year.

I'm sort of in that boat too. My only point was that it seems a lot of people are gung-ho to give up a lot of our tradeable commodities (if not all of them) on a guy who has a couple of red flags that are going largely undiscussed.

I brought up those points a lot for awhile, but I would still do the rumored deals in a heartbeat. I think he might be our 3rd or 4th most effective starter, but that's still very, very good. If not, it was worth the gamble and I feel better about his chances of staying healthy than I do of any of these prospects doing anything in the bigs.
