CC will conclude his career with his 19th season in the bigs. Hopefully he goes out hoisting the WS trophy

will he pull a jeter and make the team wear #52 on the side of their hats for the final month of the season?
these goodbye tours are fucking lame.
other names i have posted under: none
The Dunkin Donuts on River Ave . may go out of business.
The interesting question for CC is whether he is a HOFer. 3000K club will help and if he can be healthy he will pass HOFers Smoltz and Gibson to 14th all time. 250+wins. His win total will be right around Pettitte, but Andy was a Steady Eddy good performer (and admitted PED user) where CC did have a HOF peak from 2006-2011 where he compiled 35.1WAR and won a Cy Young with 4 other top 5 CY finishes and 6 All Star games. CC's career finish where he turned into a control artist and expert of the low exit velocity contact prolonged him enough to be in the equation and likely get him in. My guess, though, is he is not a first ballot guy
Hal sucks
Either he ends up injured and/or with an atrocious season. He’s done.
Said that, he was a very good pitcher.
Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz & Boston Red Sox

It is truly amazing how everyone on the Yankees was better than all their counterparts on the Sox (except Sale, but he is clearly injured and his career is over), yet somehow the Sox won the division by 8 games and then won the World Series...
We got 100 starts out of our current top 5. You guys got 124 starts out of your current top 5. That’s about all you need to know
Nothing worse than players announcing their retirement before the season starts. Way to make it all about you.
I think at worst case he's a borderline candidate, and he probably gets in eventually, but not first ballot.
Priorities:
1. Yankees lose
2. Red Sox win
Well we were talking about 2017. The Sox did get 132 starts from their top 5, but the Yankees got 134 from theirs.
In 2018, the numbers do favor the Sox. But your premise also operates on the assumption that all starters and starts are equal . The big reason for the low total from NY was the 6 starts from Jordan Montgomery, the #5 guy in the Bronx. The Sox lost Chris Sale for essentially the second half. While Sale did make 27 starts, after the break, he only made 7 and had his IP count reduced to only 29 innings.
Is losing Montgomery for a full season equal to losing Sale for a half season? For some perspective, Jonathan Holder threw 27 IP for the Yankees in the second half. We got roughly the same IP from our ace as you got from the #5 guy in your bullpen...

We got a start from Holder, a 24 game shit sample from Gray, shit from German, 4 ok starts from Loaisiga and a middling effort from Lynn. Those theoretically go away. We have Happ for the whole season. We have Paxton for a whole season. And we have Montgomery set to return for the final two months. Our opening day 6 and 7 are rookies with big stuff who are now a year more mature. Last year, we lost Tanaka for a month, had JMont already on the shelf and were getting home implosions from Gray AT THE SAME TIME. Yes, I expect some missed starts. Heck, we may even lose a pitcher for the year. But I highly doubt we’ll see two long injuries and an implosion at the same time.
That's very deceptive.
Pom was clearly in our top 5 last spring. Wright was our 6th starter.
You guys have Paxton, instead of Lynn and Gray.
Pomeranz was a top 5 starter to start 2018.
Our preseason top 5 and 2018 GS'd
27 Sale
30 Price
33 Porcello
11 Pomeranz
23 ERod
Total: 124
4 Wright (6th starter
Total: 128 from our top 6 starters on opening day.
Yankees
32 Severino
27 Tanaka
23 Gray
29 Sabathia
6 Montgomery
Total: 117
11 German (6th starter)
128 from top 6.
I was showing you how many starts your projected 2019 starters gave you in 2018 vs our 2019 starters.
