More FACTS.

"Jon Heyman of SI.com reports that Ben Sheets will receive $10 million plus performance bonuses from the Athletics.
If the Mets had guaranteed him $10 million, everyone would call them desperate, but Billy Beane does it and he keeps his genius hat. It's the way of the world. Sheets, a former first-round pick of the Brewers in 1999, will suit up as a member of another organization for the first time in his major league career. He's scheduled to be introduced at a press conference this afternoon.

Break ups are never easy.  We knew Beane went that way, but I was unaware of Heyman's affiliation.
Can you help me live a little more?  I expect good news.

I believe linkless BH is quoting Rotoworld. Whoever writes for them is the one who has a bean with Beafe.

According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, Xavier Nady will receive a $3.3 million base salary from the Cubs with a chance for $2 million in incentives based on games played.
The contract is contingent upon Nady passing a physical, which isn't a given after his second Tommy John surgery. The 31-year-old Nady is a .280/.335/.458 lifetime hitter and crushes lefty pitching, so he'll be a nice option for manager Lou Pinella if he passes.

Cardinals?  Pinella?  You have some shady sources.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

Heyman does a decent job as a Schefteresque info guy, but he sure hates progressive baseball fans.

Nady usually starts hot.  Or, I like to think he does.  But so does Fukudome.  So, who sits?  Probably, the black since it'll be cold, but I'm just guessing.
Can you help me live a little more?  I expect good news.
