CC Sabathia says he will be the same ace he's always been come 2014 -- just different. Sabathia, after the worst individual season of his career ended early because of a pulled hamstring, vowed to be a "bully" again and to regain his perennial Cy Young contender form as the ace of the New York Yankees' staff. However, he acknowledges he must bow to age and make some major adjustments, including increased diligence in his preparation. "I think I'll be back to myself," Sabathia said in his first comments since the Yankees announced that his Grade 2 left hamstring strain ended his season with one start remaining. "I know a lot of people have written me off and said that I've thrown too many innings, whatever, whatever, but I'll still be here and still be accountable and still be the guy that signed up for 2009."

He needs to start eating like a man again, I don't know what kind of figs and berries his new diet is but it's not working, get that weight back and with it your pitches will sail again, your knees may not last but at least you'll go down with some dignity. But seriously, I doubt he returns to form, but sure hope so, matters not right now though, NY needs to go into this off season looking for a new ace, that IMO is the #1 priority.
