Short Sheets
Bob Watson wanted Ben Sheets on team USA, but Sheets was honest and told the GM he would not be ready:
"He said he would love to be there but did not think he'd be ready to give what he wanted in that competition," Watson said. "I respect him for that because he understands what the experience is all about.
"He was very candid. He said he was throwing but did not think he'd be able to use his full repertoire on March 7. That's not to say he won't be ready for opening day with Milwaukee. I wished him well."

Brewers fans everywhere sigh in relief as we'll cheer on other team's starters in the WBC.
Of course, Sheets pitched for Team USA in the 2000 Olympics.
