A few notes on recent rumors involving C.C. Sabathia from the Blogosphere...
- At the time of the Johan Santana deal with the Mets, many thought the contract would raise the price for Sabathia. The Tribe Time Report wonders if the Santana deal, as well as the Barry Zito deal might actually have been a good thing for the Indians as other teams are more likely to balk at Sabathia's demands.
- Tribal Pursuit feels many Indians fans will be unhappy with the package of players the team receives for Sabathia, if dealt.
- Waiting For Next Year does not believe the Indians have any leverage in their attempt to sign Sabathia to an extension before the trading deadline.
- Outs Per Swing does not see the Rays mortgaging their future for a rental player like Sabathia.
- Knuckle Curve sees four teams as the most likely destinations for Sabathia, including the Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs and Dodgers.
- Bugs and Cranks has an image of what Sabathia might look like if traded to the Brewers.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Baseball Blogs Weigh In: Sabathia:
First, I have to say that I'm typically a fan of this segment here on MLBTR. I have found it a good means to connect to other people's blogs, etc.
But, I have to ask one thing here. What is the point to linking to that Bugs and Cranks article? It serves no purpose whatsoever. Shouldn't the links on this site be relevant and not just simply a waste of our time?

i understand your concern, but...Personally I am a big fan of much of the work done at B&C. i included the post for its entertainment value. it was thrown in at the very end because i though others might find it entertaining as i did. while it does not include a fanbase's thought on the rumors, it does convey one bloggers reaction to a rumor.

Fair enough. Thanks for the explanation Cork.
