I'll make a rare comment. Yes you are correct in the large difference between regular season CC and post season Cease last year. But remember CC faced major league teams in post season last year (Yankees/Red Sox). This year in the first round he'd basically be playing a AA caliber team most likely. If Brewers do win division, and wild card comes out of central then Brewers will play a sub .500 Dodgers or D-Backs with lineups similar to Akron Aeros...he'll probably be fine.

Reminds me of '84 when Sutcliffe traded and wins Cy Young in partial season with Cubs. Could happen this year as well as the Fat one could go 12-1 or 13-2 with Brewers. I'm excited to get LaPorta, but with Dellucci entrenched, he'll be 29 before he can crack the major league roster. I'll leave before any monitors come after me.

That's a good point I failed to recognize.
