Sheets Rumor

Alright folks, I have some conflicting rumors for you. This is what the Hot Stove season is all about. It surrounds Ben Sheets and the L.A. Dodgers. Here's what I have for you:

• Yesterday the USA Today reported that the Brewers and Dodgers are in serious talks about sending Ben Sheets and Bill Hall to the Dodgers for Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp. This is reported by a "high-ranking L.A. official."
• Today, however, Tom Haudricourt says that the Brewers have not talked to the Dodgers about Ben Sheets at all. Interestingly enough, however, Tom does not mention anything about Bill Hall and the Dodgers. No news, in this case, might mean a lot of news in a couple weeks.

Well, these are the conflicting reports that we have. Melvin is usually one to keep his trade talks private, so I wouldn't be surprised if he is talking to the Dodgers and telling us that he is not. Hall and Sheets for Kemp and Ethier though? You'd think we could get a little more than that. Kemp is a fantastic prospect, and that would be awesome. Exactly what the Brewers need, young, cheap, and high potential. I'd like to see the Brewers swing Jonathan Broxton if they were to consider that trade though. And maybe a starting pitching prospect. We have the leverage in this deal...not the Dodgers.
