    Sabathia Confronts Cereal Vice -- Again

    Wednesday, February 13, 2013 3:08 pm
    Written by: ThePostGame Staff

    New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia reported to spring training about 10 pounds lighter than he was at the end of the 2012 season, and the hefty lefty had a funny and familiar reason for the new look.
    "No Cap'n Crunch," Sabathia told reporters. "Same thing I did last offseason, just worked out and watched the diet. I worked out every day, just made sure I watched what I ate.”
    The 6-foot-7, 290-pound Sabathia has struggled to rid himself of the evil that is Cap'n Crunch. Around this time two years ago, Sabathia admitted that he used to eat the sugary breakfast cereal by the box. That's 15 times the recommended serving size, and it amounts to an extra 2,000 calories and nearly an entire cup of sugar a day. After spending the 2010 season at well over 300 pounds, Sabathia needed surgery in the offseason to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. His weight might not have been the primary cause of the injury, but it certainly wasn't helping the situation.
    So going into the 2011 season, Sabathia cut himself off the Crunch and dropped 25 pounds.
    That worked out pretty well for Sabathia, as he pitched 237.1 innings in 2011, striking out 230 batters (his most as a Yankee) and finishing the year with a career-high 7.0 WAR mark.
    Swearing off Cap'n Crunch could be a problem for Sabathia in the Yankees clubhouse, as manager Joe Girardi has admitted that it is one of his favorite cereals.

    So they're praising a 280 pound man for losing 10 pounds? If you weigh that much, work out everyday and watch your diet for a 3-4 month period, you should definitely lose more than 10 pounds.

    I have wholemeal oats for breakfast. Breakfast for me isn't a time for sweet shit, it's business time. Not sure I could stomach something that sickly.

    I completely agree. Especially with how Bush/Carroll screwed the program in the not-so distant past.

    Robinson Cano and the Yankees aren't making much progress in their initial contract talks, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports. There is "a significant difference in either talent assessment or valuation" between the two sides. The Yankees see Cano as a top-10 or top-15 player in the game, while agent Scott Boras sees his client as a top-five talent -- a small gap on paper, but one worth tens of millions in negotiations. If Cano does hit the open market, MLBTR's Tim Dierkes cites the second baseman as "the clear number one choice" as the best free agent of the 2013-14 offseason.

    hey robbie
    we'll treat you like a top 5er
    and in case you hadn't heard...
    we've got the mutha fukken:vrp:

    Cano next year in blue would just be ridiculous.

    I mean seriously, we'd have a video game roster.

    We'd have the biggest target ever on our backs lol.

    Anyone coming off the books next season? I know we got the mula but after extending Clayton...signing a guy like Robbie would make our payroll like 250 million lol.
