The Dodgers will watch Sheets pitch, according to Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times . A contract between the Dodgers and Ben Sheets makes a lot of sense. The reality is their are six to ten teams that have expressed interest, and you gotta figure someone is going to offer something better than the Dodgers. A one year incentive deal seems to be in order for Sheets.
Ben Sheets will throw for teams Tuesday at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, reports ESPN's Tim Kurkjian. Sheets was recently quoted saying, "They're going to like what they see."
We last saw Sheets in in 2008 where he posted a winning record of 13 and 9 in 31 games. His ERA was an impressive 3.09 over 198 innings.

Strikes a really good amount of guys out, walks few, allows few HRs, and when healthy can go deep into games.
Exactly...
A deal between Sheets and the Dodgers makes a lot of sense. I still think Sheets will sign with the Cubs though.
Considering our management, probably not us, that's for sure. Unfortunately.
Sheets fits pretty much every criteria that Colletti looks for in a signing:
1. veteran
2. injury concerns
3. cheap (at least cheapish)
However, the two things Sheets has working against him are that he's never been on the Giants or Red Sox, and he's actually good. Real good.
