I would have the "3-2" balls/strikes graphic burn a hole in my TV screen.

He will be.
Trade for Kluber or Paxton and it's a good offseason, even without a Machado or a Harper.
Lmfao he only wanted to be in NY so naturally we overpaid him to keep him.
What a damn joke. Unreal. That ff should not be back on this team.
Ya, shame on Cashman for securing a solid#3-4 pitcher on a reasonable short-term contract.

CC is lucky to get through five innings at this point. He is one of the reasons that the bullpen was worn down by the postseason.
Sure, if he takes a discount for playing 1B. That spot should be saved for Andujar though.

He had plenty of starts where he had absolutely nothing and had to be yanked early. He is also a big injury risk with his knee problems.
Okay, but you're still wrong about him being 'lucky' to get 5 innings - he averaged well over that per start.
TBF, he should be a #5 guy in this rotation - if he isn't, then Cashman has failed this offseason.

You're right but it's not gonna happen.
The good news is, that likely means he's staying. We need more of Andujar's ilk in the lineup, not less.
I'm mixed on Harper at 1B. We need a 1B and we need a lefty bat, but he does nothing to diversify this lineup.

No, no he should not be. You sign Happ, Corbin, and trade for a starter and you have filled out your 5. No reason he should be here. You have countless arms that could fill the 5 spot if they didnt get all 3 of those guys plus Montgomery coming back at some point.
Stop pointing to an average of 5.3 innings pitched when many of the games that he went longer skewing that number were against mediocre lineups.
$8 million wasted

Pitcher throws less frequently against better hitting teams? You don't say...
CC averaged 5.3 innings per start over 29 starts - over 75% of those starts he went 5 innings or more. At a sub 4.00 ERA in AL East, leadership, team legend, etc you're making it sound like we traded Judge for Chris Davis.
At a 1 yr contract, CC is pretty much the perfect 5th starter.
Montgomery won't be back until 2020. Cessa sucks. Sheffield is probably ready, but will need to be eased in, Gray will be traded and German/Lasagna are too wild to be relied upon at the moment.
