Wow….and Larry Ford even made the Olberman list. I’m still trying. Money quote from Ford:
“This is a Democratic thing,” he said. “Everything has to be controlled. They have to own everything. You’re not allowed to have a viewpoint.
“They’ve always been power crazy,” he added.

The addition of the one-time ace to the Mets rotation is suddenly taking on an intensity than either the Derek Lowe affair and the emerging dance with Scott Boras and Ollie Perez. Sheets is cheaper and may be worthy of the gamble with potential upsides off-the charts. A near top form Sheets provides the club almost a co-number one with Santana and puts less pressure of a recovering John Maine and maturing Mike Pelfrey. The potential drama of Perez is eliminated and a seasoned Tim Redding is the 5th starter. Jon Niese gets to start at Buffalo alongside Bobby Parnell. Maybe Parnell gets some bullpen time.
The capital saved from a Sheets signing may allow the club a wack at Pudge Rodriguez and another deal to alter the lineup like for Orlando Hudson.
There’s less money being spent this off-season and slowing things down. Maybe the Mets see that Niese can replace Perez’s work soon enough and Sheets is well worth the chance.
Sheets over Perez for me.
