CC Sabathia is a Brewer, so I've read. For The crew's top prospect and 2 other minor leaguers.

Sabathia The Brewers and the Cleveland Indians agreed to a deal for the reigning AL Cy Young on Sunday, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The newspaper reports the deal is contingent on paperwork being finished and the exchange of medical records. Cleveland would get Double-A outfielder Matt LaPorta, who is hitting .288 with 20 homers and 66 RBIs in 84 games for Huntsville, and two other minor leaguers in return, according to the Journal Sentinel. The two other players do not include top prospects Alcides Escobar or Mat Gamel. The Brewers wanted Sabathia on their pitching staff in time to get him two starts before the All-Star break, according to multiple media reports. Sabathia, who is 6-8 with a 3.83 ERA this season, could debut in Milwaukee against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. Brewers general manager Doug Melvin told the Journal Sentinel on Saturday that a proposal was on table and he awaiting word from Indians GM Mark Shapiro. "Mark said he'd be in touch with me," said Melvin. "I'm sure they've got to think through everything." Laporta was scratched from Huntsville's lineup Sunday, another indication the deal was close. Milwaukee has been considered the front-runner in the Sabathia sweepstakes. The Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays were among other teams vying for his services. |

I think we just witnessed further proof why Billy Wagner shouldn't be in the all star game.

Fukudome is a pretty good player, don't get me wrong, but there's no way in hell he deserves a spot, let alone a start, over Corey Hart.

At this point Carlos Ruiz should realize how much he sucks and just do the team a favor and kill himself.

fukudome has the better 1.8*obp + slg ^_^
i don't think fukudome deserves a spot really but neither does braun or hart. mclouth, burrell, bay, holliday, and ludwick are all more deserving than any of the three. also holy shit how did JASON VARITEK make the all star team that is basically the worst selection of all time |

Just great. Let a washed up never has been beat you.
Oh well, the fact that Tatis and Easley are carrying this team doesn't exactly keep me up nights. |

WOW! This is so monumental! Sheets, Sabathia and Parra at the front of the rotation. I am so excited and pumped for the Brewers. Hopefully it will be made
official ASAP. Sabathia is 2008's Pete Vuckovich!

existed?

And not because we got our asses handed to us, but because I found it sort of laughable that their fans were so pompous considering their team has been the losingest team in baseball for the past decade, this year notwithstanding. Just be happy you're finally where you're at.
And CRA...what the hell is up with Veritek over A.J.? I mean, I hate that asshole more than any other ballplayer, but he certainly deserves a spot over
Jason .220 Veritek, no? C'mon, Francona...
