I heard their offer is the same as the Cubs/Lilly deal. 4/40.

Suppan is wayyy better than Lilly and wayyy more durable.

Nope.

 

Career numbers:

 

Lilly: 8.73 H/9, 1.38 HR/9, 3.67 BB/9, 7.68 K/9, 2.09 K/BB, 1.38 WHIP

 

Suppan: 9.79 H/9, 1.19 HR/9, 2.95 BB/9, 5.06 K/9, 1.72 K/BB, 1.42 WHIP

 

 

Factor in that Lilly pitched in the AL East for most of his career and in Toronto, a notorious bandbox (inflates HR numbers)...Lilly is the better pitcher. Suppan is more durable though, I'll give you that.

Sheets, Capuano, Suppan, Bush are not bad 4/5 starters. With the young talent they have on the team they think they have a chance at winning the division, which they do.

Everybody in the NL central always has a chance...unless you're from pittsburgh.

I said Jeff Suppan would get 3/30 this offseason. I thought Jimbo would give it to him. I was joking...

Sheets is just like Mary, when he's healthy, I think he's a number 1.

That particular post confused me as well-I think he meant though that those 4 are not bad for being 4/5ths of a teams starting rotation, not that each of them are 4 or 5 starter quality.

Yeah, Sheets healthy is a #1. Capuano is a legit 2. Bush was very unlucky and could easily be a great #3. He had a sub 1.14 WHIP (7th in baseball just behind Brandon Webb). Better K and walk rate than Webb, with the major difference being that Bush is much more of a fly ball pitcher. He was excellent at home this year and bad on the road. If he evens that out as I expect, he could easily have an ERA around the 4.0 mark.

 

I don't like Suppan much, but the Brewers could have the best rotation in the NL if they sign a guy that can eat 200+ innings at a league average level.
