The Sabathia Effect
David Pinto - Baseball Examiner
Milwaukee Brewers new starting Pitcher C.C. Sabathia smiles as he talks at a news conference Monday, July 7, 2008, in Milwaukee. The Brewers obtained the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner in a trade with the Cleveland Indians on Monday, giving up four prospects in a gamble that favors the present over the future.

Two wins doesn't sound like a lot, but two more wins in 2007 would have tied Chicago for the NL Central lead. If he can get his ERA in the low threes, like Haren and Santana, he should earn the Brewers three more Ws. The quest starts tonight as he faces the Rockies with Mark Redman on the mound. Red man hasn't pitched well this season, giving CC a good shot at his first win.
