Great question. Now I just have to make a decision...

I heard the Brewers are willing to give him 120 million over 5 or 6 years, but if they do that i can see Ben Sheets going elsewhere.

Just to clarify, this market will be settled based on which roster the player is on on Opening Day. He doesn't actually have to play in the Opening Day game.

Also, once C.C. Bigassia is under contract please settle this question. No need to wait until Opening Day.
