So, you may know that Ben Sheets will be throwing tomorrow, showing off his new bionic arm. And you may think that the Astros would be interested. After all, they at least got out of the office for an hour to watch Aroldis Chapman pitch a ball. But, I guess since Ben Sheets will be throwing in Louisiana, it's just too dadgum far. Unless it's not.
Brian McTaggart is tweeting:
Ed Wade said this morning Astros have no plans to watch Ben Sheets throw on Tuesday, though that could change.
Maybe they'll watch. Maybe they won't.

Of the choice between two evils, Ben Sheets, with the first pick chooses...
Tom Haudricourt, of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, is reporting that Ben Sheets is more likely to choose the Rangers over the Yankees...
"It's my understanding that Sheets is more likely to sign with the Texas Rangers, who are being encouraged by new pitching coach Mike Maddux, the former Brewers' pitching coach."
And still, it's unlikely that the Astros would sign him anyway, since they'd have to pay him more than $2.13 + tips.

Roy-O Recruiting Sheets
Roy has decided to pick up the phones and do a little recruiting himself, presumably to make sure he isn't the only solid one-fifth of the rotation next season, by talking to his buddy Ben Sheets.
Sheets is going to command $10-15 million, so that means getting rid of Tejada, Wigginton and Valverde for the payroll limitations which have apparently already been set by Run-DMc.
Ken Rosenthal says this about Sheets: "If the Brewers fail to offer Sheets arbitration, it will be a clear indication that club officials are concerned about his ability to stay healthy in 2009. And remember, the Brewers know Sheets better than any other team."
