Ben Sheets or C.C Sabathia?

Question

Which of these starting pitchers are the Astros likely to sign as a free agent this off season?

Keep in mind that Astros Owner Drayton McLane is one of the richest in baseball.

Answer 1

CC Sabathia because he's younger and has way more potential.

Answer 2

Astros won't get either. the Yanks & BoSox will fight it out & out bid everyone..........

if i was you i'd HOPE for CC, Sheets has a DL tattooed to his arm

Answer 3

Ben Sheets isn't inconsistent, he's injury-prone.  He's only two years older than Sabathia.

ERA

Ben - 3.74

CC - 3.80

Ehh, draw, Sabathia has been in the AL his whole career, so it should be a little higher.

Strikeouts/9IP

Ben - 7.68

CC - 7.47

Sheets is slightly better, but once again, the AL thing might have something to do with it.

Walks/9IP

Ben - 1.96

CC - 2.92

Here, Sheets has a notable advantage, better control.

Those are just some stats I felt like including.  In my opinion, Sheets has been the better pitcher, but due to his injury history and the slight age difference (which coincidentally means he has thrown fewer innings at age 29 than CC at age 27), I'd probably say Sabathia, since he's a much safer pick.

Answer 4

I know that I say both men are smart enough to hold back and stay in Milwaukee.

Answer 5

C.C. Sabathia

Answer 6

cc all the way

Answer 7

Neither.

Answer 8

CC Sabathia.

Note: there is no . between CC.

Answer 9

yankees or sox will snag them

but you can keep hoping for the best

or unless he gives them some wack contract like he did with clemens. like sabathia will never pitch on a day starting with a T and will get his own hotel room, or sheets will pitch every sunday game that is during the afternoon.

Answer 10

CC for sure. Ben Sheets is consistently inconsistent.
