that never happened outside of this seasons first month.
CC..will be fine...
Only worry about him when postseason time comes.
He was 6-8, 3.83 ERA in 18 games with the Indians. That's not that bad, but being that he was the Cy Young the year before, that's notthat good.

Nah it wasn't good..but I'm saying that was only cause of the month of April. He pitched well after that.

Last year, the Yankees over-valued their young talent (Hughes, Kennedy, Melky...though some will tell you that the Twins were asking for toomuch). Now that they have learned from their mistake, they are hoping that history won't repeat itself.

and if i was a yank fan, id agree with you. thats why im almost glad he's gonna sign with you

The numbers that he put up as a Brewer were great, but he's not going to be doing that in the AL (East). And this isn't Milwaukee...it's New York. He's obviously the best pitcher out there and I don't mind the Yankees being aggressive, but I'd feel a whole lot better about it if it was Santana...I don't see CC producing the #'s he is now when he's in his 5th, 6th year of the contract.
Burnett and Lowe? Ehh...Burnett is Pavano 2.0 IMO and I don't see Lowe fitting in here...maybe it's because I live in MA and saw how the last few years in Boston were...dude let the media/fans/criticism get to his head and that obviously wouldn't work around here.
Call me a pessimist, but I'm just not sure things are going to work out in our favor...
Word. That's how I see him ending up too...without the injuries though. Just the effectiveness...
I'm not real high up on Burnett nor Lowe...like I said previously, Burnett is a Pavano situation waiting to happen...

Let me ask you (and every other Yankee fan that isn't excited), which do you think we'll have a better season with?:
Pick 1 scenario (Assume that we get Burnett and Joba starts):
Scenario A:
- Wang
- Burnett
- Joba
- Mosse/Pettite
- Hughes
- CC
- Wang
- Burnett
- Joba
- Moose/Hughes

the whole reason i'm not a big CC fan is that he's not a post season pitcher. but i guess if he can get you there, i guess thats a start. maybehe'll be different in october with the yanks. also, a dude that big, i can't see him staying healthy unless he gets in shape, i dunno. he's gonnabreakdown i feel like.

If Ortiz hasn't broken down, CC won't
But Like you said, If he could get us there, we're in a better position than we are now. And remember, in the postseason, ANYTHING can happen. RightDeadsetAce?

[h1]Rosenthal's Latest: Peavy, Teixeira, Burnett[/h1]
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [November 15 at 9:54am CST]
Ken Rosenthal's got an interesting new column up.

- Now that talks with the Braves have ended for the time being, Padres GM Kevin Towers is talking with the Yankees about Jake Peavy. The Yankees have had "numerous discussions" with the Padres, even though they just offered C.C. Sabathia a contract and are still considering A.J. Burnett and Derek Lowe.
- Even though the Yankees traded for Nick Swisher, they could still have interest in Teixeira if he's willing to consider a shorter contract of four or five years for top dollar.

Those who are worried about CC Breaking down need to stop. He is not going to, there is tons of president for big buys to stay healthy just because dude is fatdoes not necessarily mean he is not working in the off season. It seems to me CC's worth ethic is pretty great and is the type of pitcher who makesadjustments every year.
CC will have a long relatively injury free career his athleticism combined with his good mechanics will keep him pitching into his 40's and is one of thefew pitchers that I'm comfortable with making a long term investment.
- Keeps his glove hand arm bent and near body
- His elbow never raises above his shoulder
- His arm is vertical by the time his foot hits the ground
CC will be fine.

You know, I wouldn't be surprised somehow the Royals or Orioles make the W.S next year.Originally Posted by DeadsetAce

If my memory serves me well, I remember hearing that the Padres wanted Cano and a prospect for him.
I might be wrong though.

Probably more then that.... like Hughes maybe?
If we get rid of Cano though (hope not) we can get O. Hudson

Hey, I won't complain if he hurls a no-hitter or a perfect game while being buzzed/migrained.
Just so long as an official scorer doesn't consider an error to be a hit...
CC is not going to be the next Hideki Irabu, I hope

How long before the Yankees payroll is near a billion a season?
If you guys have in your rotation
CC
Wang
Burnett
Lowe
Mussina
Pettite
Jaba
Hughes
You guys might be pretty good.
Then all you'll need to do to fill out your roster is get
Damon
Jeter
A-Rod
Manny
Teixeria
Posada
Abreu
Cano
Swisher
All signed and then you can work on your bench. 300 million dollar payroll, but hey, you're the Yankees.
