When CC Sabathia takes the mound for the first time as a Yankee, he would like to see Mike Cameron playing center field behind him. Sabathia, who was introduced to the New York media along with A.J. Burnett yesterday at a press conference at the old Yankee Stadium, said he hopes the Yankees trade for his old Brewers teammate. Several days have passed since GM Brian Cashman last spoke with the Brewers about a potential trade of Cameron for outfielder Melky Cabrera and left-handed pitcher Kei Igawa. But the deal would be easy to revive. The Yankees are non-committal on their current options in center field (Cabrera and Brett Gardner), and the Brewers would like to move Cameron's $10 million salary.

He's also requested that a loaded buffet table with carving ststion and raw bar be set up in the dugout. "It's not about the money" said Mr 161...."it's about me being able to have a little snack between innings and Mike Cameron makes the best Dagwood hero you can imagine".

After listening to CC and AJ being introduced and on Wfan later in the day ... both sing ing the praises or Joba , Mariano , Jeeter .... I am amazed they forgot, Chien-Ming Wang , who might well win more games than either of them and who is really ... or hmm perhaps was the number 1 pitcher. I know its a hard name to pronounce .....but really is it good form to leave the guy out ?

Everyone always leaves Wang out. I ignore it...we know he's the man. And....dangit! I thought this deal was dead. Please let it die!

look at that double and triple chin, cannot wait to see what this guy looks like in a couple of years, they are going to have to have oxygen bottles on the mound for him just for the walk from the dugout

The guy hasn't thrown one ball for the Yanks and he's already "advising" them on building the team to his specs.

Wonder what is going to happen when he notices that sieve at shortstop?

Note to Yankees:

CC will win for you in the regular season. I guess you gotta ask, is the 161 mil for that or the post-season? Cuz his track record does not reflect a big game performer

Did Cashman put a GM clause into his contract ???
He might have- beating his own offer by 20 mil might not have been enough-

Why was that racist? Because he said "boy"? So would you have found it more acceptable had he said "shut up and do your job ****!"?
