i dont think he has much value at this point. He is actually selected as one of my keepers but that will change

3:39pm: SI.com's Jon Heyman talked to Sheets' agent Casey Close, who said his client will have elbow surgery. Sheets hopes for a July or August return. Tom Haudricourt says Sheets expects the Brewers to pay for the procedure.

Because its gotten to a point where you almost expect Sheets to miss a significant amount of time because of his elbow. He can't seem to fully shake that one. I hope this surgery is the one that lets him break through because he is a much better pitcher than the numbers show but bad teams in Milwaukee and injuries have held him back up til this point. The question on sheets this off season has been is Sheets healthy? Which is what most of us have grown accustomed to hearing at the beginning of the season "IF Sheets can stay healthy." I bought into him being relatively healthy via rehab but once again the elbow comes back to bite him.

I wondered how many St. Amasians were in this thread.

Good to know.

I was hoping Ben was going to sign soon. I was looking for a reason to buy a new 5950.
