CC Sabathia - this generation's John Kruk

[Queasy]

Pic - Good to see CC showing up in shape...well, he showed up as a shape...round...for Spring Training.

Reminds me of John Kruk's line, "I ain't an athlete, lady. I'm a baseball player."

He needs to stop eating babies.

That's what gives him his super powers.

Me, too, one of my fav Phils. A highlight of their pennant winning 1993 season was when they interviewed his Dad, and even his own father referred to him as "the Krukker."

I'm pretty sure anyone stretching in that pose is going to look a bit heavy, let alone a guy who is 6'7 and runs in the 280+ range.

He's a huge person, period - while he may not look like the cover model for Men's Health magazine, he's worked very hard the last 3-4 years and takes his conditioning much more seriously than you might think.

I hate the Yankees, but he's a stud pitcher, a good person, and now a rich mofo!

I don't care what he weighs. He's not in the top 10 payrolls because he steals bases...

 

[Insomniator]

I guess if you have 200 million dollars who gives a shit what you look like.

 

[TallBill]

I don't like him because he doesn't wear his hat right. I'm assuming that the Yankees will make him.

He has more chins than a Taiwanese little league team.

Mr. Burns, I don't think you know what sideburns are.

Oh man, CC stealing bases - I would pay so much money to see that. Too bad it would never happen

Undoubtedly they have a lot more pressure to perform but his teammates play everyday and need to perform also. Overpaid meaning they get a chance of 1 win every 5 days for a disproportionate amount of cash paid to him? Nah... not fair.

If I were to do it right, I'd put it in bonuses like playoff performance / victories instead. But what do they care... baseball with its ridiculous number of home games a year and cult following despite slow play - they're not hurting for cash.
