CC SABATHIA: REVIEWING OUR PROJECTIONS

At the beginning of the season, we wrote a piece titled YANKEES PROJECTIONS 2011: THE STARTING ROTATION and in it, I projected what each pitcher would do this season, plain and simple. The regular season is over and over the next 24 hours, Casey will be putting out our review of each pitching projection. We hope you enjoy this series.

CC SABATHIA

• Projected: 21 wins, 3.22 ERA, 232 innings, 208 K's

• 2011: 19 wins, 3.00 ERA, 237.1 innings, 230 K's

Well, we were pretty darn close with this projection. We knew coming into the season that CC Sabathia is the clear cut ace of this team and would have a good chance to win the American League Cy Young Award. He'll start Game 1 of the ALDS this Friday, and he'll be prepared to dominate. Congrats CC on yet another great season in Pinstripes.
