4 YRS 60 MIL
The Atlanta Braves have offered the above for Derek Lowe. I doubt very seriously that the Mets will even come close which is why they have extended the 3 yr 30 mil to Perez. I would not go any higher than that for Perez, if he and Boras start getting greedy we need to look at other options. Sheets anyone? I think Sheets with the right incentive laden package is a far better option than Perez.

From where does this information come?
We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't want Sheets
I’d absolutely prefer him over Perez. And I also think his agent might actually be, you know, not a jerk.

I AGREE
Sheets to me is a much better option. His agent has put out his medical records for all teams to view. He’s in the best physical shape of his career and was 13-9 even with his bad elbow. Like I said, an incentive laden contract for one yr, and then we go from there. He’s right up there with the best in the game when he’s healthy, I think he’s going to put the injury bug behind him and be a solid #2 for a team willing to take a chance.

Sheets and Pettitte
Derek Lowe – FIP/xFIP
2005 – 4.10/3.53
2006 – 3.72/3.80
2007 – 3.88/3.50
2008 – 3.23/3.43
Andy Pettitte – FIP/xFIP
2005 – 3.03/3.29
2006 – 4.08/3.82
2007 – 4.00/4.47
2008 – 3.74/3.79
2009 Projection – FIP
Derek Lowe:
Bill James – 3.80
CHONE – 3.71
Marcel – 3.67
Andy Pettitte:
Bill James – 3.66
CHONE – 3.93
Marcel – 3.98
Why is one of these guys getting 6x what the other was offered?
Pettitte and Sheets would be a terrific, complimentary, bargain basement, 2 for 1 sale. Sheets ace upide is well documented, and the risks he brings are decreased with a durable veteran like Pettitte, not to mention another lefty to throw and the Phils and Braves.

Why?
Because Omar’s not that creative, and he can’t shake his mancrush on Ollie. Sheets and Pettite would be a nice bargain basement pair of signings. But it ain’t happening until one of us becomes GM.
