41.2 IP, 5 W, 40 K, 2.16 ERA, 1.15 WHIP in the past 30 days.
I'd think he makes the all star game with those stats and now that his curve is working I would not rule out the Cy Young if the Padres pitchers find a way to not keep it up. He has also been healthy for 180 IP now or almost a full season so its about time to put to rest the injury prone tag he got from his 1 injury in his 7 year career.
For all the talk of Sheets' "disappointing" year, he as put up some fantastic win (10), ERA (3.16), and WHIP (1.25). Only the Ks are "down" but he's still on pace for 175 or so, and he's back up to a K/inning in the last month. With the Brewers piling up runs and their generally effective bullpen, Sheets could finish the year with 16-17 wins, sub-3.25 ERA, sub-1.15 WHIP, and make a run at 200 K. I'll take it.
I am the Master. Don't question the Master. Just do what he says and be proud.
This is the end of the ride for me. I am hoping that he recovers quickly and be ready to help my team for the playoffs in September. I've drafted and held onto Sheets since his breakout year but the guy clearly cannot stay healthy long enough to play a full season. Also, he was putting up good numbers but still nowhere near as good as his 2004 season. So at least for me, he is someone who I will skip over at the draft unless he is still around in the later rounds but I doubt I will end up with him for the same reasons why I never wind up with Prior/Harden.

I don't buy it. I'll be ready to bring this thread back up in March when you've drafted him in 2 of 3 leagues!
Obviously a slightly frustrating turn of events. It looks like it'll just be the 15 days and done, which is good. It's been a frustrating couple years of bad luck for Sheeter. A finger sprain like this could happen to anyone, regardless of injury history. It's the kind of thing that has the same odds of happening to a horse like Clemens as it would to a guy like Harden. As a Brewers fan, I'm just glad that it's A) nothing serious and B) unrelated to the one true injury he has suffered (back/shoulder). I almost wonder if they're just being conservative (and maybe post-season conscious) since they know they have a more-than-adequete fill in with Gallardo to give Sheets some time off.

LOL, you should have heard me when Prior and Harden were called up... but I do know one thing. When to give up on guys.

hopefully, but the reports of a similar "pop" to zumaya's have me a little less optimistic

The MRI turned up negative. If it were the same something would have shown up I guess. That's what has everyone relatively optimisitc. On the plus side, we finally get to see Manny Parra. It wasn't too long ago that he was our #1 pitching prospect and injuries set him back significantly. Well, he's 24 now and has come all the way back to dominate AA and AAA (including a AAA perfect game). Left handed starters that throw as hard as he does are few and far between. I think he'll be taking Gallardo's long relief slot for now, but I can't wait to get a look at him.
