Will CC Sabathia rule at the Yankees?

After being traded from the Cleveland Indians to the Milwaukee Brewers during the 2008 season, CC Sabathia impressed and may well have been a factor in the Brewers reaching the play-offs - along with Prince Fielder's slugging homeruns. Sabathia became a must have pitcher and so the richest baseball club, the US equivalent of Manchester United, decided that they must have him on their team. And so CC Sabathia waved goodbye to Milwaukee and headed for New York. The Yankees had got themselves a great asset and a pitcher that could help them finish above the Tampa Bay Rays and the Boston Red Sox.

But, CC Sabathia didn't really impress at all against the Baltimore Orioles in the Yankee opener of their first game in the 2009 season, which saw them lose heavily to the Orioles.

So will CC Sabathia become a Yankee Great? A Yankee Hall Of Famer whose number will be retired after a career that sees him one of the greatest pitchers?

Perhaps not, but give hime a chance, he's just settling in and nerves may have played a part. Although he did have a slow start last season, I seem to remember.

That's what I think anyway.
