The Yankees suck. What will be missed the most, his ERA over 4.00 or the fact that he has 54 k's to 35 walks? Doesn't look like "Ace" numbers to me. His record is good, but that probably has to do with him getting ridiculous run support. They shouldn't have too much trouble spending tons of money on an old washed up vet that can keep the same mediocre numbers.
I would prefer them to not get Sabathia. I'd hate to have to see the Indians take any trash off of that team for a legitimate ace. Plus, the AL Central is still up for grabs as weak as it is this year.
