Same here – I was starting to think, oh, well, if they can work out something reasonable, after all, he DID win a Cy Young, even if it was in the NL West. But he’s not worth this. No how, no way. CC isn’t worth it either, except that the Yankees need is huge.

If the Yankees sign Sabathia, there is no need for Pettitte. I also have the feeling that Mussina will play at least one more season. He reinvented himself early last season and became a totally different pitcher – and more effective than his last 5 seasons. His first 20 victory season, an outside shot at 15-20 more wins brings him closer to HOF nomination…..It’s too tempting.

BTW, nobody has mentioned Dan Giese for a potential roster spot in 2009. Keep an eye on him. He’s a late bloomer, can give you solid spot starts as well as good early inning relief. He should not be overlooked.

Peavy and Axelrod believe they have leverage and have opened negotiations with the Yankees via the media. Cashman will do nothing publicly unless and until CC is finalized one way or the other. If CC accepts the deal, Cashman will/should give a “take it or leave it” proposal if he is still interested. If CC does not follow the money, Cashman may do likewise except give Peavy a little more knowing full well that there may not be another game in town…..bottom line is Peavy/Axelrod believe NYY is a sea of green, ripe for the pickings…..let him walk if the deal can’t happen on the Yankee’s terms.

Doreen,

Just when I was coming around to the idea of Peavy in NY, this rears its ugly head.

If I don’t want to pay CC CC type of money, I sure as heck don’t want to pay Peavy CC type of money.

I think this goes back to getting guys who want to be here. They may not be the best, but they’ll give you your best.

And yes, that includes CC. Even if he gets paid lots and lots to forget that he really wants to be elsewhere, dominating a lesser species of hitters, and getting to hit on a regular basis (whoohoo!) it’ll always be there, you know?

Of course there’s a chance that he’ll love it here, being in the spotlight, and the players are great. Just ask Jose Molina what he thought about the Yankees before he got here.

CC’s an easygoing guy and if anyone could do it, it’s him. He seems to have a lot of friends around MLB.

I hope the Yankees realize he is a headcase and not cut out for the AL let alone NY.

I guess the bottom line is, he WILL waive it for the right price.
