Penny Wise?

The White Sox declined to offer a contract to Gavin Sheets, ending the 28-year-old’s four-year run with the team. God forbid Sheets should win a raise in arbitration. According to Clare, who once saw him up-close, the lefthanded-hitting Sheets could’ve passed for a tight end in the NFL, at 6’5” and 235 pounds. Instead, Larry Sheets’ son tantalized with his power. I swear those 46 career homeruns should’ve been double that number. Now, we’ll see. Someone will take a chance on Sheets, his hometown Orioles, maybe, (he’s hit .328 against them) or the Yankees (.404). Whoever it is, Sheets will get to prove the problem was his old team, not him. Personally, I can’t wait.
