CC, Wang, Sheets, Joba, Hughes/Horne would be a pretty killer rotation

but i don’t think the FO would do it, what with he years, his injury history, him possibly blocking a prospect deserving and cost controlled, etc?

Boston is unlikely to catch Tampa Bay without an improved bullpen and new york is 10 games behind Tampa in the loss column. I wouldn't say either team should be too excited right now.

It was a comment regarding their weak bullpen as a whole. I knew he'd be coming in because they don't have anybody else they trust and that it this team's biggest need, an improved bullpen. TB is laughing right now because they know the Sox and yanks still have to play 9 more times this season...which likely means 4-5 lossess apiece. I'd say they're sitting pretty, barring a catastrophe.

Now we dont have to face him in the playoffs again until the WS (if we get that far but thats a different story) opposed to if he was traded to an AL team. Plus, and this is a big plus, the Brewers dont have the money to re-sign CC and sheets (who is in a contract year i think). Could they even re-sign sheets the way the market is these days? Is it too much to think the Yankees could sign CC and Sheets? Probably not, but either would be fine.

Now they have a dominant top-2 in the rotation with a mediocre middle and back, and they just lost LaPorta and others. Everyone knows that established minor leaguers are more valuable than picks, hands down. But this obviously helps us because he will be open to negotiations at the end of the year. Hello, C.C.
