Last year, the Brewers acquired C.C. Sabathia from the Indians and absolutely drove him into the ground. Three days rest? Sure! 125 pitches? Not a problem! It was common knowledge that the Brewers were wearing him out, thinking they couldn’t afford him. Everyone knew it. Everyone even said it.
So now the Yankees want to make him the highest paid pitcher in baseball history. That’s awesome. He’s probably going to go out there and tear his rotator cuff and be put on the DL for the next season. Then he’ll come back and be mediocre in 2010. Then the Yankees will trade him to some other team and eat most of the salary in order to get another pitcher and he will come back and win the Cy Young. It’s going to be awesome.
So, C.C, I have one question. There is only one team stupid enough to fork over all that money right now. Why haven’t you taken the deal? Take the deal C.C!
