Despite recent progress he threw a batting practice stint on Saturday Sheets still is expected to begin the season on the disabled list.
The team will go with a four-man rotation to start the season and hopes to have Sheets back later in April. The Brewers also announced on Tuesday that they have requested waivers on righthander Kane Davis for his outright release, and infielder Zach Sorensen has accepted an assignment to Triple-A Nashville and will report to the team's minor league camp on Wednesday. for shove at Bristol concerned with What was this person going to and 'What was that person going to think?" and I was more caught up in that than I was in being true to myself "What you see today is a more truer Jeff Gordon and who I really am. I'm not a robot. I have a personality and I have emotions and I have a humorous side to me and an angry side to me.
Kenseth learned that firsthand when contact with Gordon on the final lap of Sunday's race sent Gordon spiraling backward from a third-place finish to 21st. Kenseth claimed the contact was accidental and approached Gordon on pit road in what looked to be an apologetic gesture. But Gordon, who was still wearing his helmet and safety devices, angrily shoved Kenseth back several feet. The two were quickly separated by NASCAR officials.

"Everything's going good right now really good," Sheets said. Sheets, who missed the last month of last season with a Ben Sheets torn back muscle, strained a different muscle in his upper back in a spring training game March 9. Gordon fined $10,000 CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Jeff Gordon has always been a model of good behavior off the track, the rare driver able to keep his emotions in check. That changed when he angrily shoved Matt fc 'x Kenseth following i the race at Bristol Motorspeedway, an action that drew a $10,000 fine from NASCAR on Jeff Gordon Tuesday. It's the first time in Gordon's 14-year career that he's been penalized for his conduct. Don't expect Gordon, who was placed on probation until Aug. 30, to turn into another Tony Stewart or Kurt Busch.
But the image-conscious driver is committed to letting loose the emotion he's kept bottled up over the years. "For many, many years Tve been so reserved from controversy," he said.

Assists Orlando 17 (Nelson. Stevenson, GREEN BAY The Denver Broncos apparently are looking seriously into trading for disgrun tled receiver Javon Walker, though whether they will offer enough to pry him from the Green Bay Packers is another matter. Walker has vowed never again to play for the Javon Walker Packers because they twice refused to extend and improve his contract Earlier this year, he went public with his wish for the Packers to trade or release him. Denver coach Mike Shanahan has made informal inquiries about Walker, the Rocky Mountain News reported Tuesday, though there's no indication he's made an offer to the Packers. The Broncos have extra picks in both the first and fourth rounds of this year's draft, but it's difficult to think they'd part with a first-round pick for a player coming off knee-reconstruction surgery, as Walker is.
A Packers spokesman said neither General Manager Ted Thompson nor coach Mike McCarthy would comment about Walker Both are attending the NFLs annual meeting in Orlando, Fla. Thompson appears averse to trading Walker mainly because he's a quality player, but also because it could suggest to players they can be traded if they threaten to sit out Thompson likely would consider a good offer for any player, but Walker's knee injury diminishes the Packers' chances of getting anything close to the value they otherwise might receive for a 27-yearold receiver who was in the Pro Bowl barely more than a year ago. Earlier this month, Thompson released a written statement about Walker that said, in part There have been several highly publicized cases of player discontent in the National Football League. I don't anticipate us making any concessions in tliis matter." However, Walker's public statements about never playing for the Packers reiterated Tuesday by his stepfather and his criticism of quarterback Brett Favre have been strong enough that it could be difficult if not impossible, to repair his relationship with the team.
