Jeff Suppan passed a physical Friday morning, formally clearing his path into the Brewers' starting rotation. Suppan and the team came to terms Christmas Eve on a free agent contract that guarantees $42 million over the next four years, plus an option for a fifth. It's the largest contract in franchise history, and will become official next week when the team files paperwork with the Players Association. Barring injuries, Suppan will join a rotation that includes right-handed ace Ben Sheets, whose four-year, $38.5 million deal had been the biggest in club history, plus left-hander Chris Capuano and right-handers Dave Bush and Claudio Vargas. Suppan, also a right-hander, will turn 32 on Tuesday.
