Perrotto's Latest: Sabathia, Varitek, Crede, Villone

John Perrotto of Baseball Prospectus checks in with his usual Sunday column.  He's got some new hot stove material to consider.

• Perrotto says the Indians are holding firm at an offer of four years plus an option for C.C. Sabathia.  As of a week ago, the Indians were said to have an offer on the table for him.  I suggested that the Tribe might top out around four years, $72MM plus an option for 2013.
• Perrotto writes that "Boston is expected to sign catcher Jason Varitek to a two-year extension worth around $20 million."  Varitek could retire after that.
• Perrotto suggests that Joe Crede is on the Giants' radar if they don't re-sign Pedro Feliz (hat tip South Side Sox).  Crede seems like he'll be involved in one of those late Spring Training deals, given the need to prove his health.
• The Yankees, Mets, and Pirates are interested in free agent lefty reliever Ron Villone.
