CC Sabathia and Ben Sheets qualified as Type A free agents while Mike Cameron, Eric Gagne, Brian Shouse, and Salomon Torres qualified as Type B free agents. Type A free agents mean that the Brewers will receive a draft pick from the signing team (second half of the first round or first half of the second round) and a compensation pick between the first and second rounds of the draft. Type B free agents mean the Brewers will receive a compensation pick between the first and second rounds of the draft, but no pick from the signing team.
In order to get the compensation picks, the Brewers have to offer arbitration to the free agents and the free agents have to sign before December 1st. As such, it's highly unlikely the Brewers will receive any compensation for Eric Gagne. Also, it is likely the Brewers will pick up a team option on Salomon Torres and might on Mike Cameron as well. However, expect the Brewers to offer arbitration to CC, Sheets, and Shouse.
