We reported last week that Ben Sheets would be throwing a side session for some MLB teams. Well apparently he did well, and there were plenty of teams on hand to see it. Scouts say that he was throwing about 92 MPH, but what was really impressive was how he commanded and located his curveball.
The session went so well that rumors are coming out that Sheets wants $10 million this year, and a players option for next season. I don't know if he will get that much, but lets look at the teams that were rumored to be in attendance...
Reds
Nationals
Diamondbacks
Cubs
Rangers
Cardinals
Blue Jays
Dodgers
Brewers
Mets
No Yankees and no Red Sox, usually means you aren't going to get top dollar, yet I still think there is a chance. The Mets really need some pitching, and could easily see them jumping on this guy. He is an injury risk, but who else could they look at Joel Pineiro? No thanks.
Obviously the Rangers could be another decent possibility, and that would really make then dangerous (and very injury prone) with the addition of Harden already.
