IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Scott Rosenthal writes:
"Is our Triple A club full of guys that are ready to help us right now? No," Cashman says. "But from Double A on down, I'd match us up with anybody."
Ca$hman and the media once again are hyping up the MFY family farm.
The article goes on to mention Ben Sheets.
"Clubs continue to call and ask about him, but I'm not motivated to move him," Brewers G.M. Doug Melvin says. "In our market, you have to be open-minded about any deal, but you'd have to be overwhelmed with Sheets. I'm not into dealing for prospects at this time. I'm trying to help the Milwaukee Brewers instead of Huntsville (the team's Class AA affiliate)."
Melvin likely would seek multiple pitchers in a deal for Sheets, perhaps using the Astros' trade of closer Billy Wagner for three young arms as his model.
Perhaps this is solely Rosenthal’s notion, but Melvin or an associate could have gone “off the record” on the Brewers trade demands for Sheets. Bronson Arroyo, Lester/Cedeno and Malaska/Dinardo for Sheets would be comparable to the booty Houston received from Philly for Wagner. Acquiring Sheets would not only be a great deal now but over the next three seasons as well. He is becoming a sick pitcher.
