2018 Baseball Eligibles
Ben Sheets was always poised for greatness, but it often seemed as if the four time All Star spent more time fighting back issues than he was throwing pitches. Sheets still was a solid Pitcher, though don’t we always wonder what would have happened had he been healthy throughout his career? He probably would have received at least more than the votes he will get in 2018.
