CC Sabathia is out until at least July. ESPN said, "The Yankees clearly want to save their ace for a late-season run, so will exercise caution, making sure to not rush a return." Seriously, is ESPN purposely five years behind everyone else or do they try to anticipate what other people think and just feed off of that? Are they under the assumption that casual (read: lazy) fans think Sabathia is the Yankees ace, so they just go with that? Are they ignoring Tanaka? Are they afraid of upsetting Yankee fans? Do they think Yankee fans are stupid? I have questions, y'all! Sabathia hasn't been an ace in two years and I see no return to that any time soon. Even if he loses another 75 pounds and grows back his belly, only now it's from being malnourished, and he shows up at the ballpark with flies buzzing around his head. Chase Whitley will remain in the rotation now and he had a 10+ K/9, 2.4 BB/9 in Triple-A, but he wasn't even a starter prior to this year and the Yanks are throwing crap against their dresser hoping it forms a pretty, flower-doily design. I wouldn't mess with him outside of AL-Only leagues. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
