| New York, NY (MySportsbook) - Milwaukee Brewers ace CC Sabathia was named the "2008 MLB Clutch Performer of the Year" on Wednesday, as voted by the fans and bestowed by Major League Baseball. The award recognizes the player who performed the best when the game was on the line and Sabathia certainly fit the bill in a season that saw the burly southpaw switch cities and leagues before putting the Brew Crew on his back for a march to the playoffs. Sabathia went a combined 17-10 with a 2.70 earned-run average for |

Zduriencik, 57, spent the past nine seasons working in the front office of the Milwaukee Brewers, and ascended to the role of vice president - special assistant to the general manager for player personnel in January 2008, just prior to a season in which the largely homegrown Brewers won the National League wild card and advanced to the postseason for the firs |

Hamels answered his critics with eight brilliant scoreless innings in his NLDS start against the Milwaukee Brewers, and was magnificent against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS to get his team to their first World Series in 15 years. "It's a pleasure," said Jamie Moyer. "He's a great kid. He's learned a lot. He's come a long way. He's really matured. He's act |

Moyer, who was 16-7 with a 3.71 ERA during the regular season, lost his NLDS start to the Milwaukee Brewers, as he allowed a pair of runs and four hits in just four innings. He also walked three batters in his team's 4-1 loss. Moyer was 10-3 away from home this season with a 2.92 ERA. However, he is 3-4 lifetime against the Dodgers with a 4.80 ERA in 10 s |

After going 2-for-11 in last year's sweep at the hands of the Rockies, Utley has again seen his bat go silent, managing just two hits in 15 at-bats against the Milwaukee Brewers. Supposedly he is dealing with a hip injury. The Dodgers could be the perfect team for Utley to break out against. He batted .355 with two homers against the Dodgers this year, and is .339 lifetime against them for his career. Howard, meanwhile, had |
