The topic of CC Sabathia came up in the Judy Garland thread.  He's long been rumored to be someone that we're going to go after, but I have concerns.

First, I think we need to address our offensive problem.  All spare change the organization has should go to Mark Teixeira and signing/developing hitters in his image.

Second, and more to the point of this post, I'm worried CC Sabathia is due to break down.  I could very well be wrong, as I'm only basing this on the number of innings he's pitched the last two years versus the rest of his career.

Innings Pitched by CC:

2001 – 180
2002 – 210
2003 -  197
2004 – 188
2005 – 196
2006 – 192
2007 – 241
2008 – 253

Is he an overworked rental ready to break down?  Anyone have some deeper thoughts on this?
