Comments on: Has CC been subpar? http://riveraveblues.com/2009/07/has-cc-been-subpar-15080/ A New York Yankees Blog Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:32:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mac http://riveraveblues.com/2009/07/has-cc-been-subpar-15080/#comment-498658 Mac Tue, 28 Jul 2009 13:28:25 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=15080#comment-498658 After CC lost to the Angels, I griped he was really a #2 starter. I pointed to his post season era of 7.92 and expressed my concern as to how much he has left by October. I felt that the Yanks had to get him and Burnett b\c they had zero starting pitching. CC's biggest plus to me was he eats alot of innings (and apparently Big Mac's) and he'd be a big part in getting the Yanks to October. I hope CC gets the chance to turn it around this year in October. Regardless of what he really is - an bonafide Ace, the best #2 starter in mlb or maybe an Ace who isn't quite as good as 3 or 4 other pitchers in the game, the Yanks needed him and he's more than earned his $ this year. Lastly, I still think Dave Robertson has sub par stuff and will get killed if Girardi ever puts him in a high leverage situation against the few other teams that have a chance to beat us in October ;-) After CC lost to the Angels, I griped he was really a #2 starter.

His record was very reflective of how he pitched and how he pitcher was not reflective of a top shelf number one starter. I examined each start for the first half, I suggest you do the same.

Looking at his first half, I noticed 7 of his 8 wins were against clubs with losing first half records. His one win against an above .500 club was Minnesota which finished the first half 45-44. Up to this point he has not been a stud number 1 starter, hopefully he can get it done when it really counts. I agree with the posted who stated the post season will tell the tale.
