Yankees Spend Too Much Again

Earn Your Stripes

ESPN.com is reporting that the Yankees have offered C.C. Sabathia 161 million for 7 years! Which would be the largest baseball contract in the history of the game for a pitcher.

Ohhhh, those crazy Yankees....

They are paying for the C.C. that dominated the NL the last half of the 2008 season. We're talking an ERA under 2.00, and a trillion strikeouts.

What they'll actually get, in a tougher division AND league, and not to mention .. oh YA.. you're pitching in YANKEE stadium where the fans turn on you in a dime.. is the C.C. with an ERA around 3.50 and maybe 200 K's. Because of this Sabathia's fantasy value will dip a little bit, but he's still solid. Just not sure if he's 161 mill. solid.

But go ahead, grab him. C.C. IS one of the best pitchers out there. For that much money you deserve it. It still won't buy ya a World Championship. Sorry Yanks.
