$160 million deal with the left-hander C.C. Sabathia,

Post by **grizzaholic** » Wed Dec 10, 2008 3:50 pm

I cannot believe no one has posted this yet. What I also cannot believe is that the Yankees are still writing blank checks, then asking the city for another 250 million for stadium this and that. When that stadium is done there will be what, 2 billion???, spent on it?

That is a heck of a lot of money.

I don't follow baseball very much, and correct me if I am wrong, but spending that much on a pitcher that pitched a bunch of innings last year, 250??, is a little risky right? I mean if he pitched that much last year one would think that he wouldn't be able to pitch that many again?

CC is a horse, but generally, yes, high innings pitched have a negative effect on a career.

High-priced free agent bust that the Yankees signed a few years ago.

Yankees paid just over $42M for Pavano...and got something like 25 wins out of him over 4 years...

That's about $1.68 M per win...not a bad gig if you can get it...

On the contrary, Colonel...they got 26 STARTS. 9 wins.

You do the math.
