The CC Situation

I figured that CC Sabathia would not be signing with the Brewers. When we signed him last year, most of us knew that he was a hired gun. He was a player that would give us the extra push that we needed to make a playoff run. This goal was accomplished! But you figured he would go where the money is.

There were rumors that he wanted to live on the west coast, where is building a home for his family. I heard that he wanted to play in the National League where he could bat as a pitcher, something he is pretty good at doing. I also figured he wanted some serious cash, as he is probably the most sought after pitcher in free agency.

This is what I didn't think would happen:

1. He would sign with the Yankees! Boo...the most hated team is baseball.
2. That any player would get signed for that much money.
3. That apparently what was important to him was all less important than making a boat load of cash.

Well, the Brewers can't compete with a seven year, $161 million deal. There's a recession going on?
