It worries me that the only major outlet that has report a done is the NY Post. Not the best sources in the world. I agree.

However, I think just like yesterday's "breaking news" that he turned the deal down, perhaps we should hold off on the parties and playoff rotation until it is a bit more solid... I mean, JAke Peavy has been dealt over and over, only to hear over and over that its not true.

Could give them a chance to make slow, steady progress as opposed to force-feeding them a set spot in the rotation. If Sheets gets a 2 year deal, then an open spot on the staff is not all that far away. Also, Wang is getting close to free agency and would be eligible in 2 years as well. Hughes, IPK, Betances and Brackman would all have that to look forward to. Just another reason not to sign Lowe.

Just my thinking though. I would think that instead of Sheets and Burnett, they get one of those two and Lowe, due to the injury risk. Just my thinking though.

They're better pitchers when healthy, and the depth of Aceves/Hughes/IPK makes their lack of durability acceptable. Exactly, you can’t complain if the go with one of those guys.
