Granted Sabathia has a great arm, but that does mean he deserve millions, hundreds of millions that is from the New York Yankees. He's 28, 290 pounds, and been in the majors for 7 years. He's a coronary waiting to happen, and statistically he averages less than 14 wins per season. Come on Brian and Hal, is that the best use of money. This fan thinks not.
Sabathia represents decaying talent, yes he still has some, but how far did that get the Milwaukee Brewers this year? And why has no one gotten his weight under control? Why does he remind me so much of another Yankee mistake....Sidney Ponson. I guess since the NYY Front Office gave Sidney a second chance, a cheap chance, they are willing to blow millions on a pitcher who waning before he has even reached the age of 30.
I say pass on C.C. He's too much of a gamble. Take the money and see what you can trade for. At the very least give some to Pettitte and Mussina. C.C. is not worth it. And to boot he comes with lots of attitude.
C.C. in my mind should not be made a Yankee. He reminds me of another bad free agent deal, the Jason Giambi deal and look how long it took for the Yankees to get rid of Giambi's money.
There may be players in baseball worth millions, but they are rare. Sabathia is not rare and not worth millions.
