Sabathia a Yankee

by Ed Valentine on Dec 10, 2008 1:56 PM EST in New York Giants News

Since I am a diehard New York Yankees fan, I have to gloat just a touch about the Yankees signing CC Sabathia today.

If you're a Yankee fan and you want to discuss -- or if you're not and you want to rant about it -- drop by my Yankees' site and get in on the discussion.

Oh, fine, no K-Rod talk?

/ cries in afternoon beer

Watch me paste this pathetic palooka with a powerful paralyzing perfect pachyderms percussion pitch.

we got last years CC

only for less money and less chance of him becoming Bartolo Colon 2.0. I’ll take it…

Oh NOW I see it.

Shoulda scrolled down before I posted.

I think I liked it better when you weren’t talking about the Mets.

By the way – CC stands for Double Cheeseburger. You knew that, right?

K-Rod?

What team did he go to? I have heard vague rumors that some other minor franchise plays in that other league. Didn’t put much stock in the rumors, though.

Well, I guess we only need THREE more pitchers to have a bullpen now, right?

this sucks

Carsten Charles is my favorite player

It's not easy being Giants fan in Philly.. but it sure is satisfying

160 million

That’s a half million a pound

7 year deal, He’ll look like Nate Newton at the end of that contract.

Hey hey hey!

Great!

You re-signed David Wells, only with a different name. That guy’s “before” picture to be in the weight loss with Don Shula is gonna be taken in year 4.

You play to win the game!

i don't remember

David Wells ever winning a Cy Young…

i’ll gladly exchange the fat jokes from rival fanbases for the complete game three-hitters.

just merely pointing out that Bartolo Colon was a hefty former Indian who had a great season during which he was traded to the National League, then signed a big free agent contract, had one pretty good season (during which he screwed Mo Rivera out of a Cy Young) and promptly fell off a cliff b/c he couldn’t keep himself healthy.

Difference is

CC has had more than one good year. He has better numbers than any pitcher in baseball for the past three seasons combined.

by Ed Valentine on Dec 10, 2008 9:45 PM EST up reply actions

not sure about that

over the last 3 seasons, Johan has a better ERA, better WHIP, more K’s, a (very slightly) better K/BB ratio, and a better win%. Sabathia’s an awesome pitcher, but I’d still take Johan, especially considering that despite being a few years older, he’s actually pitched less inning in his career, due to beginning later and as a reliever.

i'm a met fan..

but i like CC.. the only problem is his weight will eventually take a toll on him..

i'd take Santana too

and he’s smarter than CC for going to a National League team and staying. i can only imagine what Sabathia would’ve done had he stayed in the hitter-challenged NL..

2008 in AL: 18 starts, 6-8, 3.83 ERA, 3 CG, 123 K
2008 in NL: 17 starts, 11-2, 1.65 ERA, 7 CG, 128 K
