Earlier I wrote about one of the Big Apple pitchers, today I am gonna look at the Yankee stopper, CC Sabathia. This 28 year old knows how to pitch. I must confess I am not a big Yankee supporter, but CC is one guy I like to watch.
CC is in his ninth big league season. He has never won a title but he has always been the best pitcher on his team. He has pitched for three different clubs, Cleveland, Milwaukee and now the hated Yankees. His numbers are not overwhelming, but for the last four years he has averaged a little over 15 wins per year. If he can continue to do that until he is 40, there will be another 300 game winner.
The 2007 Cy Young winner took on the cross town rivals and Mike Pelfrey on Friday night in the Big Apple showdown. CC pitched another gem working 7 innings and giving up 1 earned run while striking out 8. He improved to 7-4 on the year, remember he had a slow start, and win #124 of his career. Look for him to be in the 135 range by the end of the year.
Jered Weaver picked up another victory last night. He is one of the top young pitchers in baseball. If you get a chance to watch him, do it.
