    Good overall player, Rockies positional players are far from bad.

    the only good news is that there is a fix
    if they had tj surgery back in the 60's, koufax would have likely pitched quite a while longer

    Sandy had an arthritic elbow. So nothing could have helped him. But I suppose steroids and Peds would have helped. So nothing LEGAL would have helped.

    How many tj sugeries happen to pitchers from Japan. Watching the mlb network program on the pitching dilemma and not 1 mention of that obvious fact. Unless I missed it.

    By Cork Gaines | Yahoo! Business Insider -- 3 hours ago​

    ​
    The Yankees have placed star pitcher CC Sabathia on the disabled list with fluid build up in his knee and now he will visit famed surgeon Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion on the pain.​

    ​
    This is just the latest bad news for the Yankees concerning Sabathia and the 6-year, $142 million contract they gave him two years ago.​

    ​
    Sabathia is 33 years old, has a history of knee problems, his fastball has disappeared, and the Yankees still owe him $90.6 million.​

    ​
    Following the 2010 season he had arthroscopic surgery on his knee to repair a small meniscus tear in the same knee that is ailing him now. A year later, Sabathia lost 25 pounds to take pressure off his knees. This past off-season, Sabathia lost even more weight .​

    ​
    But despite being in better shape, Sabathia's fastball continues to slow down and his performance has suffered in recent years.​

    ​
    As his fastball velocity has fallen, his Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP; similar to ERA but a better indicator of how well a pitcher is performing) has gone up.​

    ​
    [​IMG]​

    ​
    There are signs that Sabathia may be able to turn it around if he can stay healthy.​

    ​
    Despite losing velocity on his fastball, Sabathia is actually striking out a career-high 9.4 batters per nine innings as he has become more dependent on his slider and changeup.​

    ​
    Also, batters have a .350 batting average off of Sabathia on balls they hit in play (BABIP). That is an unusually high number and suggests that Sabathia has just been a little unlucky early on in the season.​

    ​
    Still, the velocity on his fastball and the recurring knee problems may be things that cannot be fixed. If not, the Yankees have yet another bloated contract that they will soon regret.​

    Man. That Tanaka deal looking pretty good for the Yanks. Good as in he's doing well, not the outrageous amount of money they gave him.

    True...but at least he's doing well.
    Our trillionaires are looking like old guys wishing they were playing dominoes instead of BB.
    With the money that is being thrown around by everyone (we be da best at it), might as well give it to someone who can deal or hit.
    6-0 ain't bad...and we wouldn't have to look at abominations like Maholm.
    The money is out of control, there's no doubt. But it isn't going away anytime soon. Now we have it to spend in shitloads, and where will it get us? We'll see in a few months...but that was the "reason why we couldn't get to the WS", right?
    Frank was cheap and poor Ned couldn't buy whom he wanted.
    What is the excuse now, I wonder? If we crash and burn , like we always do?

    I applaud you for admitting it.
    I am a crybaby, for sure.
    And I will be until either they win a WS again, or Ned is sent packing. Whichever comes first.
    Just my thing, as whatever is with you.

    Dbags hire La Russa for FO job. They should have just cut Towers instead of teasing it.
