No, they will not. Sheets is a FA, too. If CC stays, then Sheets leaves. If Sheets stays, then CC leaves. More than likely both will not be resign and the Brewers will take the supplemental draft picks. |

Why would both leave? Do the Brewers not have a big enough payroll for it? |

Because they both will want a lot of cash, and Brewers can pick up 5 picks of the first 35 in the draft next June which is HUGE. |

Probably not. Unless their owner opens up the checkbook. Both will probably cost them around $40 mil total......which would be around 1/2 of their 2007 payroll. Not to mention they have Prince's arbitration. You actually gave me an idea. I'll post tomorrow. Thanks, Yankee1012 aka the jew.

Erm, they're only like three games out. And St. Louis is right behind them. And don't forget about the Wild Card. They're waaaaay still alive. As for the Brewers resigning Sabbathia, not going to happen. His agent already said he's going to take the lefty to the market and there will be a bidding war between the Yanks and Red Sox at least. There is no way Milwaulkee stays in that. Same goes for Sheets. Word is that he will at least test the market, so he could be gone, too. However, either way, the Brewers seem content to take their five draft picks as compensation for the two (should they both leave). |

So I took a look at what CC FA value will be in the off-season based on WAR. I used his 2008 Marcels projections to substitute for 2008. I'll take another look at it once this season is over. Anyways, if he were to get a 5-year contract, this is what he should be looking at: 5/$124.85 Year-by-year: 09: $25.82265939 10: $25.70292533 11: $25.30501787 12: $24.57449965 13: $23.44882762 That's given a 10% inflation and a .5 WAR decline per season. Let's change as to where he'd decline by .3 WAR his 1st two seasons and by .5 the other 3 seasons, which seems more likely given his age, body type, and injury history: 5/$135.705 year-by-year: 09: $26.79065939 10: $27.83252533 11: $27.64757787 12: $27.15131565 13: $26.28332522 Just from that, it's pretty easy to see CC will be the highest paid pitcher ever by next year. Zito got a 7/$126, so let's see what CC would get in 7 years: 7/$182.9666598 year-by-year: 09: $26.79065939 10: $27.83252533 11: $27.64757787 12: $27.15131565 13: $26.28332522 14:$24.97422354 15:$22.28703275 Edited by sportslover, Sat Jul 12, 2008 2:59 am.

As disappointing as this season has been and trading CC, LaPorta is supposed to be fine. It's just depressing trading CC because we have had him since he was a baby. It's fine. Cliff Lee can be the new ace and hopefully Fausto can come back too. LaPorta is supposed to be hell of a player. I just hope we don't completely rebuild. |

I can understand that. That's how I felt when A-Rod and Junior left. Sucks. Hope that never happens with Felix Hernandez, wish the M's would sign him through like 2015 or something.

It's not very smart to call Cliff Lee an ace. |
