CC Sabathia Trade is Great News For Fantasy Owners

Alright everyone, you are going to hear allot of different opinions on the Sabathia trade, and hopefully mine will be the one you accept because it will be the right one.

I think its great for owners that Sabathia will go to the National League and pitch for a team in the hunt. here's why.

1. First and foremost Sabathia is a gamer and thrives on the playoff hunt.

2. Instead of facing an everyday DH, he will now get a pitcher. He will also naturally face many softer lineups than the ones he faced in the American League. And I know some pitchers can ht, but lets be real here. Sabathia is use to facing 9 strong batters and won't change that way of thinking just because its a pitcher.

3. His ERA will drop, Strikeouts per 9 innings and K/BB ratio will increase. Sabathia is the American League Cy Young winner and he is going to a league that is virtually unfamiliar with him. He will be able to dominate teams until they at least go through him twice. His only real issue is control. If he keeps his control, he will certainly dominate.

4. He's going to a better team. OK, the Cleveland Indians weren't that bad, but let's face it the Brewers are better. The Brewers are ranked 15 in all of MLB in total runs scored, while the Indians are ranked 20th. The difference is 19 runs.

5. He'll have a better bullpen to back him up. Now again, I'm not praising the Brewers bullpen, but it is a big improvement over the Indians bullpen. Behind Sabathia are guys like Betancourt, Kobayashi, Lewis, and Perez. The Brewers have a much more stable bullpen with Torres, Mota, Riske, and Shouse. The overall team ERA for the Brewers is 4.10 ranked 12th overall in MLB. The Indians have a 4.31 ERA ranked 19th overall.

Its an easy call, the Sabathia trade will improve his fantasy numbers. If there is a manager who has him and wants to trade him, go and get CC Sabathia. You won't be disappointed.
