Sheets Proving his Worth

Ben Sheets is flat out dealing right now. Sheets pitched a complete game shutout today in the Brewers' 7-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants. The right-hander fanned 8 batters allowing only 5 hits and walking none.

When Sheets is healthy there is no denying that he is a legit ace. He hasn't allowed a run in either start so far and his curveball is looking as good as it ever has. If he remains healthy there's no doubt in my mind the Brewers will win the division. He has been pitching like a man on a mission in his first two starts.

In his post game interview on FSN, Sheets attributed his success to Jason Kendall. Many people questioned the Kendall signing and thought he was over the hill, but Kendall has been very impressive. He has good plate discipline but his ability behind the plate is what sticks out. He calls a great game and is really clicking with the pitchers. Kendall is a guy that won't get all the publicity or be on all the highlight reels but he's going to be one of the MVP's of this team when it's all said and done.
