It is a whole different ballgame when your team makes the playoffs, and the Brewers have waited so long to go to the playoffs, so even making the 1st round is worth a lot. What do you think? Was it worth trading for Sabathia?

I would have to say I liked the decision. Nobody knows how well LaPorta will do. That is yet to be seen. However the Brewers get the first crack at CC in the off season and he said himself in the papers and on tv that he doesn't care about the money. He loved playing in Milwaukee, he said it was one of the best times he's ever had. He loves the young team, he loves that they have fun and they have energy. I honestly don't think he'd get that anywhere else...
CC is possibly going for 150 million...So the Brewers are gonna try and ask him back for 146 million for 6 years...Weeks will most likely get traded along with Sheets and possibly Gagne or even Fielder. JJ Hardy will possibly move to 3rd base {which I hate} and Escobar from AAA will come up to play short. All fans here got their fingers and toes crossed for something good to come out of our pitching which means keeping CC...Looks good so far.
