Teams must see something pretty terrible in Sheets medical record if noone has signed him yet. Obviously he is prone to injuries but it must be something that could affect him a lot next year. Sheets was the second best pitcher in market this offseason and it doesn't even seem like any teams are too interested. Sheets must feel okay himself though if he declined arbitration.

If the Yankees don't get Pettitte back it'd be nice to go after Sheets though. Yeah, its adding another injury risk to a rotation with some question marks but adding him leads to some better depth.

Sabathia-Wang-Burnett-Joba-Sheets Hughes/Aceves/Kennedy

Definitely a risky rotation but I would feel comfortable with it because Hughes, Aceves and Kennedy is decent depth for 6-7-8 pitchers. That could be the most dominant rotation in baseball if everything clicks or there could be 2 guys on the DL at any given time.
