Pleeeeeaassssseee!  That would be so awesome to have a Big Three of Felix/Lee/Sheets  !!!
Sheets is a monster when healthy, and as a bonus is a blast to watch.  And he doesn't come with the smell of the previous administration's failures like Bedard does.  Fresh Sheets!  Think of all the fun we could have in game threads!
2 yr/$20-25M with club option for 3rd year?  We get reward of 3rd year if risky 2-year contract pays off? 
Here's an article on his throwing session: http://www.thenewsstar.com/article/20100120/SPORTS/100119027/FRESH-SHEET...
“I was impressed,” said Seattle Mariners scout and former Major League catcher John Stearns, following Sheets’ outing. “Ben was free and easy, throwing the ball really well with not too much effort. He had good velocity. I was especially impressed with his curve ball. He’s got a plus Major League curve ball with a lot of depth to it.
“It looked to me like he was healthy, and health is the key issue here. I’m going to give him a strong recommendation to our organization.”
