The Proven Ace. Can CC Sabathia Continue?


Can CC continue on as the Yankees Ace?
        CC Sabathia had a lot of hype this off season. But coming into the 2014 season does CC Sabathia have anything to show for it. Sure he had a good Spring but after already throwing two games his ERA is 7.50. Now what does this say, something is obviously not working. Sure he is slimmed down but was that really the issue? How long can he remain the Yankee's ace? At this pace it will only take a couple more games.

       There are already others more suited for the job. Hiroki Kuroda has been able to keep the runs down but it is unknown if he can go a whole season without breaking down again. Michael Pineda has shown promise but again it is to early to see if he can hold onto his success, I mean after all he has only pitched one game. Either way it is to early to pass judgement, even on CC Sabathia, however he does need to pick up the pace. Otherwise Masahiro Tanaka will already have the spot as the Yankees ace before CC Sabathia's time is up in New York. But, with Tanaka's skill you never know, he has already fanned 18 batters in his first two games. Sure there has been some mistakes here and there but it is his first year and he is still adjusting.
