Brewers: Sabathia Deserves Big Contract
5th September, 2008 - 4:15 pm
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel - Brewers team owner Mark Attanasio believes that pitcher CC Sabathia deserves to get paid handsomely this winter, according to Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

"The CC Sabathia investment feels pretty good right now," Attanasio said. "I think he's been a huge boost, not only on the field but in the clubhouse."

"If anybody ever deserved a big contract, it's CC Sabathia right now. I think Doug Melvin's done a good job of saying let's just get through the season, then we'll see.

"CC obviously is going to deserve everything he gets. We'll evaluate at the end of the season. . . . We're trying to enjoy every inning we have with CC because the Indians are going to have years of Matt LaPorta.

"Doug and I had a lot of conversations. We didn't talk about 9-0, National League pitcher of the month for July and August and a (1.43) ERA."

RealGM Note: Sabathia is currently second in all of baseball in season FIC and 'deserves' to make $23.4 million, giving him a Reina Value of +113%. [READ]
