Dear Ben Sheets, Come Onnnn

Now I will be the first one to defend Ben Sheets performance this year and I have done so on many occasions.  He may not have pitched very well for us, going 4-9 over 20 games with a 4.53 ERA, but he was a great dugout presence.   He was often seen pushing younger pitchers, and he never lost his competitive spirit, which is a whole lot coming from a guy who is really struggling. Now is $10 million worth all that?  No, not a chance, and for that I feel like Sheets owes us.  Now by all of my observation, which is cursory at best, it appears that Sheets is a good guy.  Unlike Matt Holliday, who endured his stint in Oakland like a disgruntled 8 year old at a Birthday Party they had to go to, Sheets actually seemed to care about this team.  For that reason I say Ben, why don’t you do us a favor, and come out next year at league minimum. Now, this may seem like a ridiculous request, but is it really?  I mean the man is undergoing rehab for three major surgeries, including Tommy John...
