Sheets Throws 'Very Well' in Audition
by Ed Price
Ben Sheets, a potential top-of-the-rotation pitcher who missed all of 2009 because of elbow surgery, worked out Tuesday for scouts in Monroe, La., and one club official on hand said Sheets "threw very well. He threw easy."
The scout speculated that the Cubs, Mets and Rangers are the favorites to sign Sheets, a four-time All-Star who in 2007-08 was 25-14 with a 3.39 ERA. Perhaps surprisingly, Oakland had multiple people there along with the above clubs.
A "ton" of teams were on hand, the scout said, including the Blue Jays, Dodgers, Phillies and Reds.
