The Yankees have been down the last couple of years and had to make some kind of splash heading into the new stadium. Last year was the first year in Derek Jeter’s career that the Yankees did not make the playoffs and honestly this couldn’t come at a better time. CC had one of the most electrifying years in memory for Milwaukee last season when he went 11-2 and had a ridiculous 1.65 era after being traded from Cleveland. The Yankees originally CC last summer but resisted giving up a bunch of prospects for the opportunity to sign him now. Look for the Yankees to sign a couple of more pitchers in the upcoming weeks in hopes of offsetting a serious weakness on the mound.

If ever there was a player who put his team on his back it's CC. Pitching 3 straight games on short rest in such high pressure situations is amazing. His performance in those games was legendary. He is the MVP of the national league. Without him as Temple stated the Brewers would be watching the playoffs at home. Santana was also great for the Mets. The Red Sox will greatly miss Josh Beckett until he returns. Josh is another amazing pitcher that I'm a big fan of. For years to come these three guys will most likely be the best in the majors.

He has not allowed more than 5 earned runs since his first four starts of the season. He has 10 complete games, 5 shutouts. He has a nearly 5:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. In the dog days of summer, he was 9-0 in July and August. In July, his ERA was 2.27. In August, it was 1.12. In five August starts, he struck out 51 and walked 8. Upon his arrival, the Brewers were 50-40, and they trailed the Cardinals by half a game. The Brewers finished the season 18 games above .500 and finished with the 3rd most wins in the NL. While it appears the Cardinals certainly fell off, the Brewers went from a +18 run differential to a +61 run differential. Sabathia deserves a great deal of credit for shutting the door on NL opponents and allowing the Brewers to get to the next level. Without Sabathia, the Brewers are at home watching the playoffs.
