Completely agree with all of this. I avoided him in all my drafts this year and was always amazed at were he was drafted. Too much risk there for me, even though the odds say he will deliver decent numbers based on past performance.

of note, addison reed was warming up in pen in the bottom of the 6th

now pitching in top of 7th losing 3-2, good news for all those thornton/crain owners

You know when I turn over Sabathia's baseball card and I look at his stats Fat Toad Irabu immediately comes to mind

What exactly is the risk.......that's he fat? In 2008 he opened he season with 27 ER in his first 18 innings. He finished the year 17-10 with a 2.70 era. And as I type, he is currently in line for a win after giving up 4 in the first

Generally I don't comment...but when people are so foolish I must defend. How can anyone say anything negative about CC??? The last 6 years he has been a great pitcher. Consistently great numbers and throw tons of innings every year. The fact that he plays for the yankees makes him even better because the games when he doesnt have his best stuff he can still get a win with their offense.
every year 19 wins, 200 ks, sub3-3.3 era and 1.15-1.20 whip...every year....reminder when I said...EVERY YEAR!

Maxwell, Maxwell. You drafted King Felix at 2.10 in the 1K slow draft. Too much risk there for me, as odds say he will deliver about 13 wins based on past performance.

Read the prospectus:
Past Performance is No Guarantee of Future Results

They say that every year....apparently in CCs case it does.
