Claudio Vargas just got a nice pay raise from the Milwaukee Brewers.  The Brewers and Vargas agreed on a one year contract in the area of $3.6 million!  That is about $1.5 million to much if you ask me.

Vargas is decent, and is more then likely just a spot starter for most teams.  If anything he would be a #4 or #5 pitcher for a few teams around the league.  He will however provide some pitching depth for the Brewers who seem to come down with pitching injuries throughout the year.  I just think the contract is for too much money, and if they try to trade him like reports have been talking about, it will be harder to find a suitor to take on that contract.
