One of the most unreal second halves I've seen. In 2008 the Brewers went all in to try to make the playoffs for the first time since 1982. They traded their top prospect at the time Matt LaPorta and prospect Michael Brantley (who obviously has turned out to have a pretty good career) - but it was oh so worth the few month rental of Sabathia to carry us to our first playoffs since '82.
Dude was a workhorse. Pitched 130 innings (sometimes going back out there on a couple days rest). Went 11-2, and had 128 Ks with a 1.65 ERA (7 complete games, 125 stamina anyone?) - just in the second half. If that doesn't deserve a second half card, idk what does?! As you can tell, I'm obviously a huge Brewers fan but this would be a great, well deserving, card.
