Ben Sheets Could Be A Steal

The following comment was recently left by Drew: Ben Sheets would be a STEAL at $22M/2. If he's willing to take it, give it to him, but I think tossing the offer we've got to Lowe right now to Sheets is still a bargain and possibly something he'd sign for. To get Ben Sheets for a 3rd year is a bonus, not a punishment. So maybe throw something like a 24/2 with a club option for a 3rd at 15 at him, and then offer Ollie the same deal we're offering Lowe now (36/3). Sheets isn't going to want to sign on to be a #2 at the same price we sign our #3/4 for. Essentially, my proposal is paying Sheets 39/3 and Ollie 36/3, and locking in a GREAT #2 in Sheets and a GREAT #4 in Ollie for 3 years apiece. This would mean that we'd have all of our top pitchers signed through at least 2011 (Johan longer). I'd have the rotation more like:1) Santana (L)2) Sheets (R)3) Perez (L)4) Pelfrey (R)5) Maine (R)X) Niese (L)Though I'd say Pelf and Ollie would be interchangeable....
