Ben Sheets signs deal with Atlanta

[NAHSTE]

Dude needs to retire granted he was a great pitcher once.

He has been hitting 93, sitting at 90-91. He's back.

Sure until he gets hurt again.

His average fast ball velocity since 2007 is 92 mph. Clearly his past injuries haven't done a thing to his velocity. Go back to the Madden forum, we don't appreciate people who say dumb shit here.

Sorry but the dudes ERA was 4.53 the last he pitched in Oakland he's washed up.

GTFO with this simpleton shit. I've already explained why you can't judge him off of three months in 2010. If you can't go beyond "sportscenter level analysis" then kindly keep your mouth shut.

[Goober]

Gob you'll look forward to him playing for like his first 2 starts, realize he's a piece of shit pitcher and then forget about him.

Don't BS us and tell us you are looking forward to his 5.00+ ERA and his WHIP that will break the WHIP scale.

LIAR!

0.00 ERA, 0.50 WHIP. How about those apples?

What a large sample size!

THE BEDSPREAD

[Warner2BruceTD]

Sheets was one of my favorite non Reds during his prime. I love pitchers who pound the zone, throw strikes, never walk anybody, and work fast.

[Sigona]

He's pitching against the Mets. He'll throw a CG 2-hitter with 10 K's since we always find a way to make shit pitchers look good.

I was 3 innings and five strikeouts away from considering myself Nostradamus.

[Goober]

What a large sample size!

Apparently it's the only kind of sample size you simpletons understand. I have yet to see any one make an argument against Sheets that using anything other then a drastically small sample size. Conclusion, Ben Sheets is fucking awesome.

So does that mean you like Joe Blanton?

To the likely surprise of many, Joe Blanton currently leads the NL with a 6.39 K/BB, and since Colby Lewis is out for the season and no other qualified starter has a mark better than 4.87, it is a pretty safe bet to expect Blanton to lead the majors in K/BB at seasons end.
