Jeff Suppan's Price Tag: $14 Million an "Able"

Brewers fans must be curious exactly what Jeff Suppan is bringing to the table to Milwaukee for $42 million over the next four years because that's a ton of cash. MLB.com has the answer to that question. He's bringing the three "ables."

"He's durable, accountable, reliable," Brewers pitching coach Mike Maddux said. "He's got the three 'ables.'"

Of course he's also bringing a rising WHIP (from 1.314 in 2003 to 1.453 last year) and just slightly better than average pitching (since 1999 his ERA+ has been between 100 and 109 five times, above that level twice, and below it once) at an incredible price. Oh, and he's 32 this year. His contract is not refundable.
