Scanning the daily hot stove stories, there's a few notable headlines that every baseball fan should be interested in. Of course, we'll cover any and all breaking news as it happens.
- With the resigning of CC Sabathia last night, the Yankees will now turn their attention to even more "pitching, pitching, pitching", according to New York GM Brian Cashman. What's been such a brilliant point raised by a few writers and analysts is that the Yankees can now comfortably peruse the free agent market and not feel the burden of needing to land a top flight starting pitcher. Sure, the starting pitching rotation isn't the best in baseball. However, there isn't a desperate feeling of forcing a foolish signing because Sabathia is back.
- For those of you looking for a solid article about Yu Darvish, look no further than Dave Cameron over at fangraphs. He wrote an informative piece comparing Yu Darvish to other dominant "Super 2" pitchers in baseball. Would the "lowest projected figure" of $102 million over six years ($30 million posting fee, $72 million contract) be worth it?
