You are 100% right about his health, pitchers with bad legs end up with NO C&C or very little.<br />He has the stuff, IF he had good C&C of it, but until he gets there, he will be hit hard. He could get away with missing spots up in the zone but, not with little respect given to his fastball. He will have to go in and out which he can do but he must have command of the plate or boom. Bad sliders go a long way, that is why I always teach CHANGE-UP, CURVE and FASTBALL with movement!ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-90486998770657288252014-09-15T10:28:37.692-04:002014-09-15T10:28:37.692-04:00SOLUTION : Re: Sabathia.

Sabathia is not an ace and it's Joe Girardi's fault he is being used as one, not his. Keep Sabathia and get what you can out of him.

That is better than a #5 starter. <br /><br />While I like Shane Greene, let's not get ahead of ourselves. He's 25, has only 68.1 innings pitched in MLB, and while good has not set the World on fire. <br /><br />McCarthy may not be on the team next year as his contract is up after this season.<br /><br />Severino has only 25 innings pitched above A ball, so chances are he doesn't sniff the Majors until 2016.<br /><br />Adam Warren hasn't even started a game this year, and in the three games he has started in MLB he's been hit hard.<br /><br />You didn't bring him up, but one of the pitchers that's solidified the rotation is Chris Capuano, and like McCarthy he too is a free agent after this season.<br /><br />The only starters signed for 2015 are Tanaka, Pineda, Nova, Greene, and Sabathia. If another starter is acquired, Greene is certainly the odd man out. <br /><br />One final thought... CC's problem isn't his stuff being ineffective, his problem is health. That's not to say I think he'll be 100% healthy from 2015 on, but the Yankees' focus should not be on finding his replacement first, but getting him healthy.Bryan Van Dusenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868262676393608086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-33198636329721890352014-09-15T01:50:43.148-04:002014-09-15T01:50:43.148-04:00But, why would we want a pitcher that should be a ...But, why would we want a pitcher that should be a number 6 or 7 starter in the #5 spot?<br />Unless he has learned to pitch as he must (without his 92-3 fastball), he will be a black hole in the rotation. The job the starters have done this year is great, why mess it up?<br />We have 5 and adding to that is Severion, for a fine 6 man rotation...IF they were to get there heads out of their collective asses.<br />Tanaka, Pineda, Green, McCarthy and Nova...IF six is what they go with, add Severino, Warren or even Banuelos (of whom I have said should go to the BP) another lefty never hurt a team.ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-65349852699292866222014-09-14T21:37:42.578-04:002014-09-14T21:37:42.578-04:00He's not that bad.
