Stick with C.C. Sabathia and you will be rewarded
C.C. Sabathia was the biggest fish landed over the winter and none other than the NewYork Yankees paid the big bucks to get him. They dropped $160 million to get the big lefty and they expect value for their dollar. So let’s see what they are getting: 4 GS, 1-1, 12K, 14 BB, 4.81 ERA, 1.60 WHIP. These numbers are the kinds that you would expect from a guy whom you paid a lot less.
Did the Yankees overpay? Yes. Did they get a dud? No. Sabathia will right the ship and get back on track. Remember that he had a terrible April last year (4 GS, 0-3, 14 K, 14 BB, 13.50 ERA). Comparing the two, it is a big improvement. Stick with the big fellow and he’ll pay off. If his owner is a little nervous, make him an offer and maybe you can get his five best months of the season without suffering his four bad weeks.
