http://www.yardbarker.com/content/player/21255 Recent articles about Alcides Escobar en-us I can't believe the course of events that are taking place, but it appears that CC Sabathia is going to be a Brewer. The only thing that is crazier than that is that it may happen before the end of the weekend. The Indians have been scouting the Brewers Minor League system and they may be ready to unload the reigning Cy Young winner. Names that keep popping up going to Cleveland in return for Sabathia are Matt LaPorta, Taylor Green and Alcides Escobar.

I'm in a 16 team, standard CBS, head-to-head, keeper league and was offered Brad Penny and Kelvim Escobar for Cole Hamels. I am pretty weak at Starting Pitching and the 2 quality pitchers for 1 sounds appealing but I am hesistant to deal Hamels. Any insight into this trade would be appreciated.
