CC MONSTER WILL BE BACK!

Earlier in the week when Andy Pettitte was a guest instructor, I told you WHEN PETTITTE SPEAKS, YOU SHOULD LISTEN. Thank God CC did. 

It turns out that CC Sabathia has learned a cutter from Andy Pettitte. Love that! Check out what Newsday wrote:

"Andy Pettitte did more than simply watch CC Sabathia's bullpen session on Monday.

The guest instructor actively instructed, primarily helping to teach Sabathia a cut fastball, something the Yankees' ace hopes to add to his repertoire this season.

'He was showing me a grip with the cutter,' Sabathia said after throwing a four-inning simulated game indoors at Steinbrenner Field because of heavy rain Thursday morning. "I used it today and it worked pretty good, so I'm anxious to take it into a game.'

Sabathia, who in the past has referred to his slider as a cutter, believes it can be an effective pitch, much in the way it was for Pettitte toward the end of his career.

'This is going to try to be a true cutter,' Sabathia said"

Now there is no question that I believe CC Monster will be dominant again this season. Sure, his velocity has dipped, but CC is a professional and will reinvent himself as he sees fits.  He'll grind it and he's going to be fine. No one panic!

By the way, CC Monster was a nickname created by my little guys in my house.  The combination of Cookie Monster and CC Sabathia, 2 things that are always on the TV in my house, seemed to morph together... hence... CC Monster.

CC IS a monster though. Don't count him out.
