With his win yesterday, CC Sabathia became just the tenth left-handed pitcher in Yankees history to win 19+ games in a season. Here are the others:
From To Ages Seasons Link to Individual Seasons +-----------------+----+----+-----+-------+------------------------------+ Lefty Gomez 1931 1937 22-28 4 Ind. Seasons Herb Pennock 1923 1927 29-33 4 Ind. Seasons Andy Pettitte 1996 2003 24-31 3 Ind. Seasons Ron Guidry 1978 1985 27-34 3 Ind. Seasons Whitey Ford 1956 1963 27-34 3 Ind. Seasons Tommy John 1979 1980 36-37 2 Ind. Seasons C.C. Sabathia 2009 2009 28-28 1 Ind. Seasons David Wells 2002 2002 39-39 1 Ind. Seasons Fritz Peterson 1970 1970 28-28 1 Ind. Seasons Ed Lopat 1951 1951 33-33 1 Ind. Seasons Seasons/Careers found: 10.
It would be great to see Sabathia get one more win this year – and join the 20-win club.

Is there really any doubt that, to this point, CC has been worth every dollar we’ve paid him?
Remember, his salary is only $14 million this year too. According to Fangraphs his production has equated to a value of over $27 million…good deal thus far, right?

let’s not go there, as CC was given a $9 million signing bonus to keep his salary even throughout the duration. This was done just so the payroll didn’t appear to be even higher.

Good point.

I do agree with you that CC has been worth every penny…can you guys imagine what this year would have been like had Wang been Wang and chipped in 19 wins himself?

Seriously. Wang is a forgotten man around these parts but losing him was definitely a big blow. A Sabathia-Wang-Burnett-Pettitte playoff rotation would’ve been pretty sweet and if we’d had Wang all year, the whole #62 thing would’ve played out differently. He could’ve been sent down to AAA to figure himself out while a pu-pu platter of Gaudin/Mitre took his starts.

It’s a no brainer. He’s done a great job for us all year and I look forward to many more years with him. Good pitcher, good guy, great for our team.
Certainly beats having traded Hughes + a whole lot of other stuff for Johan last year…

Not to rub it in to those guys who have had to suffer through some poor performances from Joba and Mitre, but I’ll be there for CC’s next start in Tampa. I havent seen him pitch yet, so that alone has me stoked, but to hopefully see the big guy get win # 20 would be orgasmic. Seein Pettite Saturday too.
