This is not what you want to be staring down while in the batters box these days. Starting out the season rocky with the tribe, Sabathia has returned to CY Young status since being traded to the Brewers

8-0 Since the trade

5 Complete Games

2 Shutouts

1.60 ERA in his first 9 starts with the Brewers

Sabathia records his latest complete game against the Astros. I wonder how his arm feels this morning after throwing 130 pitches in the complete game…

If your a Brewers fan you love hearing  Sabathia is heading out to the mound, but in the back of your minds are you concerned with the fact that after this season Sabathia hits the free agent market? Do the Brewers have the kinda disposable income its going to take to sign Sabathia? You can best believe that Sabathia is going to be looking for Johan Santana money. You know something like 6 or 7 years at $130 -$150 million dollars. Hey I’m not trying to rain on any parades up in Brewer country, 2 game lead in the wild card race, playoff bound *hopefully* and playing great baseball right now. I just worry Sabathia is going to be a rent a pitcher. Hopefully the Brewers will be in the mix in the Sabathia lottery.
