    Why? Are you jealous? I am a Yankee fan, and I did not want CC, but I do hope he is going to be good.

    Another thing:

    This guy should be paid more than Santana? No way

    CC will make 22+ MILLION per year.

    I am a registered nurse.....I made 63,000 this year so far(I work alot of OT to get there). So I'll make 68,000 this year.

    I just SAVED SOMEBODIES LIFE YESTERDAY......SERIOUSLY.......CPR, CENTRAL LINE, INTUBATION, COUNTLESS DRUGS. It took everything we had to save her.......YET......

    If I do this for 10 years more.....I'll have earned.......750,000(raises, ect)

    100 more years.......7.5 mill
    200 more......15 mill
    300 more years of this, and I'll make 22.5 million.....or WHAT CC OVER-RATED MAKES IN 1 YEAR.

    Amen Thunderstorm. He will be over 400 lbs after a few nights out in NY. This means nothing as their rotation is still in flux. I thought Hughes and Kennedy were suppose to be saviors but they are nothing more than blowhards.

    this is just awesome....the guy had a deal on the table a month ago for 140 mill....it is clear he really didnt want to play in NY, since that original deal was 40 M more than any other team offered, and he didnt jump, and was he really holding out for this extra 20M? maybe. i still dont believe hes gonna do well....the guy doesnt wanna be there....hope that extra 20 M makes him feel better when hes getting pounded by NY media and hating his life 2.5 yrs into the deal. than again, ill hate my life for 160M any day.

    If you think he isn't any good or won't be good once a Yankee, then you should love the deal.

    I hate it when people complain about what an athlete makes. Usually that comes from a little bit of jealousy or resentment. Maybe you were a decent high school athlete, or wish you were, but you know why aren't you complaining about Tom First, Gary Dahl, or John Paul DeJoria. They made 10x what Sabathia made and people don't complain about CEO's or anything like that. You chose your profession, and I have to imagine that you knew how much you would make.

    give me John Lester for $421,000 a year any day.

    Yankees more concerned with being a team that "wins" in the offseason as opposed to winning in the regular season. This has "not going to be worth it" written all over it.
    love it.

    I have no problem with what I make or what Sabathia makes, but I do have a problem with Sabathia, I hope he fails, and this is why.

    He wanted to play on the West Coast. He stated that he wanted to play on the West Coast and stated that he didn't want to play in New York?

    Sooooo, he sold out, apparently 125 million or whatever he would have made on the West Coast wasn't enough!

    I hope the New York media eats him alive and he isn't mentally strong enough to handle it!

    That is my problem and my hope!

    Sorry to all of the Yankee fans out there. It isn't about my feelings toward the Yankees. It is more about the greed of an athlete and agent that sacrificed a player's personal desire because the 120 million or so isn't enough? Give me a break! It is more money than he will ever need.

    I was playing golf with a high paid Rockies pitcher this summer, and when the subject of having a wager on the round, he didn't gamble on the golf course. When the guys gave him a hard time, he said he already had all the money he needed. Why would he gamble on golf.

    The guy did not have a great year this year, but I thought that was a great statement that showed he had his head on straight!

    I agree georgesteele. You are what you choose in life. Why do athlete's make so much money? There is a market for it. Do you think owners like to give out money? Owners are smart people.
    So maybe if these jealousy people could throw a cutter 97 mph, run a sub 4.4 forty, have a 40 inch vertical, or have a 100mph slap shot then they probably would not have envy.

    Besides if it were not for highly paid athletes we would not have this betting forum.

    Nobody in this thread would turn down making more money even if it meant having to move somewhere. He has a job. Let's stop forgetting that this is what his occupation is. If an exec is asked "We need you to move to Detroit Michigan, but we are going to give you an extra 40K per year". See ya.

    i have no problem with CC other than saying it wasnt about that money.

    Yankee fans are a riot, "i didnt want him" Good lord you jackos are never fucking happy. you get one of the best pitchers in the game and you think its a bad deal.

    The Steinbrenner Mini is desperate and tired of Boston making them their yearly bitch.

    I chose my profession because it's something noble, and that means more to me than playing sports (which i love).

    THAT DOESNT MEAN IT"S OK to pay them that much.......

    Oh, and I'm not bitching about what CEO's make because this is a SPORTS site.......duh!

    As a former Milwaukeean, but still current Sconnie, this move pains me. I understand that we had a very slim chance of keeping him here. I think the part of this equaiton that upsets people is the inequity in baseball. Salary caps are going to be essential if baseball wants to continue being one of the big 4 in sports.
    I dont fault CC for taking the money, I never would fault anyone in any industry for taking more money. But it doesnt make the system right. I dont think what CEO's make is right, but that is a whole other discussion.
    The system needs a change. In a big way.

    needs to be a salary minimum. Completely out of hand, and its a crime that these "small market" owners use revenue sharing for other things than signing players per the agreement. I would be furious if I was the Yankees having to just hand money over to teams for them to gain profit.

    He is not clutch in the playoffs, and the Red Sox own him! I wanted Burnett who wins 3-4 times per year vs the Yanks.

    I have been a DIE-HARD BASEBALL FAN for as long as i could walk (u know what i mean ) i hv always thought they made too much $$$ but thats the great thing about this country. I do believe teachers, nurses, police officers, firemen do derserve alot more $$ than they get ( teachers mostly), but when you can just ask for millions upon millions, and GET IT well i think there is something wrong with this......but anyways back to the signing, i wanted him in LA ( ANGELS )but it figures goes to the yanks, dont matter they can spend all the $$$ in the world..still wont WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP.... I root for 2 teams in baseball....the ANGELS & and who ever is playing the fcking yankees......go angels.....peace-out

    We have no right to bitch because we are consumers of their product. We buy the tickets and the merchandise. We watch the broadcasts. We are the ones who write Sabathia and Arod and the like those insane checks.

    what about the mets. there paying almost just as much as the yanks for these player contracts. baseball is spending crazy money for players now a days. if C.C does fail he will get so much shit from the fans and media cause of how long it took him to get here and really stating he didnt want to come to NY but stay on the west. that will really hurt him if he has a bad start. which like santana did the first 5-6 games with the mets , the met fans were fucking booooing the guy. now they love him. same shit will happen to C.C if he has a rough start. and he's not going to be as good as he was on the brewers amercian league just isnt the same when going to players like in the national league, also having a chance to pitch to a pitcher. now back to DH
