Consternation abounds in Yankee camp; amid Spring fever and rampant optimism, no one can figure out how to break it to CC Sabathia that he can’t pitch anymore. A text? A phone call? Geez…have they been together so long that it’s gotta be done in person?
Ignoring the Sabathia debacle, however, there’s one key factor being routinely ignored in the glommed-up fifth starter race: fully rehabilitated, Ivan Nova is…actually good.
He’s a five starter. He’s a four starter, actually.
Heck, you could talk me into Nova as a three.
I understand why this viewpoint is getting trampled and doxxed.
