The Return (and Departure) of Ben Higuera
Can Ben “Higuera” Sheets get through one damn season without visiting the DL? Apparently the answer is no. On track to be our only pitcher with 20 wins, it looks like he will have to be extraordinary when he returns to get there, and there is no guarantee his absence will be limited to 15 days. At least Yovanni is available to fill in. As I mentioned before, he may actually be our best starter right now. Suppan looked good in his last start, but of course didn’t get the win. Capuano is the new Dave Bush. I only hope that if they go after another starter for the stretch run, that they don’t trade any of the young infielders they have. Not that Weeks’ value is that high right now anyway…
