Also, where it was figured where he'd end up.
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->LAS VEGAS - While most of the attention in the Yankees' universe is focused on CC Sabathia, the Bombers are preparing to make an offer to another free agent pitcher from Milwaukee in the next 72 hours.
<b>
According to a source, the Yankees will offer Ben Sheets a multiyear deal - most likely for two years in the $30 million range - before the winter meetings conclude on Thursday.</b>
Sheets, a 30-year-old righthander who was one of the heroes of Team USA in the 2000 Olympics, declined arbitration this weekend, so he'll cost the team that signs him a first-round pick in next year's draft.
Sheets earned $11 million last year, going 13-9 with a 3.09 ERA in the final season of his four-year, $38.5 million contract. He is 86-83 with a 3.73 ERA in eight seasons, all with the Brewers, but has only made 30-plus starts in four of those seasons due to injuries.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
What a waste of money.

So reminiscent of that great Clemens deal of '07.
Atta boy Hal & Hank! Way to go after 6 wins.
I hate my pretentious sounding username too.

I can't wait for that pussy mother fucker to crumble under the pressure of New York.
The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.

How is Sheets different from AJ Burnett? They're almost the same guy...great talent, Prior-like injury history. (someone just made this comparison in an article awhile ago, and it made sense).
I can't imagine why Burnett is likely to get twice as much money.
But as long as they don't sign with one of our rivals, fine. And if the Yankees do sign both Sheets AND CC, hoo-boy will you hear Milwaukeeans screaming about the unfairness of the salary structure. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance

I still think Sheets is going to be a great signing for someone.

Burnett has actually won more than 13 games before and started 30 games a few times.

I'm with Rapptastic. Sheets is going to be a good signing for someone. He's got great stuff.... is his a vag? Well, yeah... but so is Harden and no one is crying about having him.
Who's your daddy?

They're both fragile, but Sheets shut himself down late in the year in '07 and '08 for bullshit (IMO) injuries. He crumpled under the pressure of the playoff push. Now -- maybe the injuries were legit, but I have my doubts.

He took himself out in the third inning of the biggest start of his life against the Cubs this year. The man can't step up when it matters.
