Who retires first? Peyton Manning despite this news http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12322156/peyton-manning-tells-denver-broncos-ready-play-2015 Tiger Woods who clearly needs a shrink Brian Williams despite being on the verge of a cure for cancer Bode Mille CC? Tex? Or another Yankee? Someone else?
Never did like the smug lefty puke face. Why would CC retire when his career is going to be revitalized winning at least 12-15 games? Tiger is toast.....Arod will have a better season.
I don't know what you base this on since we haven't seen anything good from this guy since 2012. But I do hope you're right.
For the last time - here's what I base it on. He's healthier than he's been in years, he still has three major league pitches, his fastball should still be serviceable at approx 90 mph or so, and who knows, with a year off and being healthy he could regain a couple more mph AND he's ALWAYS had a good changeup and breaking ball. Do the math, and take off the negative Nelly frightened scary halloween mask.
He had all that in 2013 & he still sucked..........................................................................next!
Having 3 major league pitches doesn't mean shit if they don't have the deltas between them? CC era is inversely proportional to the velocity differential between his pitches. Do you consider data or do you just pull this shit from thin air?
