Posted Wednesday December 03, 2008, About: What is Sabathia waiting for?
Let me explain something to all you non-New York fans. You're not GREAT until you perform GREAT on the big stage. The only big stage in MLB is in New York. I don't care if it's for the Mets or the Yankees. If you can perform at a star level and handle the pressure of New York and be a boy scout all at the same time...You deserve Star Status (ala Jeter).
Maybe Sabathia's just an above average pitcher, but not a true Star. Maybe he's afraid of finding out that he's only an above average pitcher. Remember, he wasn't lights out when he was with Cleveland. He wasn't even lights out 2 years ago when they lost in the ALCS. That was Carmona's playoff performance that kept them going, not Sabathia. There have been alot of pitchers who came to New York with that "Great" status and failed on the New York Big Stage... ala Kevin Brown, Javier Vasquez, Roger Clemens (Yeah that's right I said Roger Clemens - name one big performance he had in the playoffs for the Yankees), ect...
Maybe the Yankees are better off letting this guy go to the West Coast. He's not Johan Santana. The Yankees lost out on that boat a year ago.
