$$$ALERT$$$ Ben Sheets -_Cy_Young?

Gordon Gekko · Post by **Gordon Gekko** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 2:07 pm

Ben Sheets tossed five shutout innings Tuesday versus the Mariners.

Everyone's favorite sleeper is starting to peak. 16 wins, 225 K's, 3.10 era, and a 1.05 whip is on the horizon. Get him whie you can!!! Waiting till the 5th round could be too late. No one can deny that when Sheets is healthy (like he is now), he's one of the top 5 SP in baseball.

shut the fukc up ROFLMAO!!

i guess you wanted sheets. sorry about that. i'm just doing a public service to everyone out there. sheets was a HUGE questionmark entering this season because of his health. it looks like he is healthy and throwing very well. just like i said in my post. everyone has access to the same information. if that makes me a know-it-all, then so be it.

shut the fukc up Gordon Gekko gives strippers money, he drinks too much, he always throws the first punch in a fight, he steals your women from you.

That is what a real man is unlike you and your angry brother. I am still demanding an apology from your last rant about me b/c I called your brother the Richard that he is.

BTW if this does not make sense read Herdon's last post a few weeks ago.

Those Goebel brothers are a lot of fun- between taking things way too seriously on here or posting that we got what we deserved on 9/11. Yeah I did a google search on your brother after you last rant. It is all right there!

To quote Sgt Hulka lighten up Francis!

Gekko,

Risky pick. Pitchers get hurt easily, especially this one. Pick him too soon and an injury will do you in. With that said, I've said before and will stand by my statement that when the year is over, Sheets will be top 3 in Cy Young vote. Is that worthy of 4th round or sooner? Hate to be burned right out of the gate like last two years...Sheets in 05 and Peavy in 06. Will probably let him slide that early.

Oh yes...found it and remember it.

"cherokee nation is my brother. he recently was awarded the robert f. kennedy ripple of hope award at the kennedy center for his lifetime of work with the homeless and developmentally disabled. he's a teacher, a good parent and he's even opened up his home to provide shelter to those most in need. he's a man. he's done a lifetime of work helping others. a lifetime. you are a piece of sh%t and it was my mistake to bother with this site"

If this is indeed true...Cherokee is a good man. If it is not true...shame on you for lying, and shame on you for being so vulgar. (Being a teacher)

I'd like to hear more about the strippers?

And do you pay em a quarter like the drink lady, or is that too much?

Tradesman Kettleers · Post by **Tradesman Kettleers** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 3:35 pm

Sheets was gone on the 4-5 turn in both $250 Satellites in which I've participated. Took Webb at 5-5 on 3/11 and Sheets was gone. Plenty of silent Sheets supporters out there, so there will be No bargain on Sheets in the 6th or 7th rounds. If you really want him, then grab him on round 4 because he won't be there in the second half of Round 5. Why? because other than Johan no one can give you the across the board #'s that Sheets can when healthy. Let the buyer beware.

chest and gordo- some of us love your posts- keep it up. gordo- i think i am going santana, nathan sheets matsusaka and waiver wire. should still win the pitching. all i need is 4 late round sleepers at hitting- hanley ramirez type and 3 more. send me the $

Mudster · Post by **Mudster** » Wed Mar 14, 2007 4:55 am

I agree...love him or hate him, GG brings a lot of color and conversation to the boards. How someone like Herdon with 2 total posts feels that she is in the position to tell anyone what they should or should not do is humorous. BTW, with the post that Herdon did do in this thread, that should almost be worthy of a banning. Two posts and the dolt has done nothing but try to start fights.

shut the fukc up What a low life! I guess I better budget a few more bucks for Sheets at the Friday Auction. He is mine!

Sounds like a lot of bed - Sheet - wetting going on. Big Ben is another 'could be awesome year'guy or could be just average if innings are limited - We all take the chance willingly - right ?

Mr. LBN - Jeff Price · Post by **Mr. LBN - Jeff Price** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 8:16 am

I don't get this "Sheets as a value pick" talk. He went in the 4th round in my draft after Santana, Halladay, Zambrano, Carpenter, Oswalt, Webb and Peavy. That's a fair price to absorb his risk/reward combination.

I agree his ability makes him the potential #2 ranked starter. Personally, I have him ranked #6 ahead of Halladay and Zambrano, so I guess there is a bit of value.

However, I can't see how you can brag about a 4th round, injury-risk if he happens to stay healthy and put up stats that he already has demonstrated the ability to do.

On the other hand, if Gecko is right about Sosa, then we should all be willing to pay for his tips next year. I had and will continue to have a huge "DO NOT DRAFT" next to his name.

he went 4th round in your league, but he went 6th round in others i'm sure
