Ben Sheets

JS Online:A wicked curveball

Sheets is headed to the DL. This will deflate his draft day value.

The question is how long will he remain on the DL. Right now, the Brewers believe he should be available by the end of April.

If that gets delayed, and if it does, hopefully prior to your draft, then drop him a little further in value. Afterall, it is a shoulder injury.

Personally, I would stay away, but at the right price, he would be too hard to pass up.

Somewhere in the $15 range would be the sweet spot. That is not too much to risk on a gamble, and it will reduce your salary cap when you pluck a pitcher option from the pool.

Also, with the DL spot, you can hold it open for a week or two and see if a reliever emerges as a closer candidate.
