As he points out, CC did exactly what the Brewers hoped. I would not be nearly as heartbroken had his name been announced right away. But, you don't give up a guy like CC without acquiring some very good young talent, and that's just what CLE got.

Whatever strikes me as
interesting, and serious Milwaukee Brewers thoughts. If you are a believer
in respecting OBP, throwing strikes, and keeping the ball in the park,
you may have found the place you've been searching for. I don't
believe in paying a no hit/good field SS $7 million per year (Jack Wilson, I'm talking about you). I don't think
it's a good idea to "play for a run" early in the game. Build up your
minor league system, and watch success follow.
