Yankee Notes

Here are some Yankee notes courtesy of the New York Post. CC Sabathia only used two words to describe how he felt about being a World Series winner rather then a Cy Young winner. He wrote "much happier", in a text message. He recieved 13 points but no first place votes wasn't suprised at all with the outcome. " I wasn't suprised at all." "He definitely deserved it. He had a 2.16 era in the American league. I don't care how many wins you have, thats pretty good." Sabathia was saying these things about Zach Greinke and I agree with him he deserved to get it although I think Felix Hernandez had a strong case also. Greinke is a feel good story though also after coming back from some kind of anxiety disorder and being able to finally fulfill his potential. Joba Chamberlain was speaking at a benefit on Tuesday night said that he is fine with not knowing his role for next year. "It's a great problem to have for Phil Hughes and myself." "We have been in situations and there is a lot of things we can be. I think it is an advantage for our team that there are so many different options to make us better for 2010." Joba thinks the past year has helped him even if most don't think that it has done anything but confused him. He said his arm felt awesome and he is going to start throwing on Monday and preparing to defend the Yankees title. He did say he is going to work on being more consistant. He also said he wants Andy Pettitte to come back, he said he talked to him last week and let him know how much he wants him to come back. The Yankees do not have any of their coaches signed for next year other then Kevin Long. It is believed though that all of them will come back. Joe Girardi is in the last year of his contract and it looks like the Yankees are going to stick to their practice of letting guys finish their contracts before renegotiating. I think they should only use that philosophy with players and extend Joe immediately especially coming off a World Championship. I am guessing they think even if the Yankees do flounder early the heat will be off of Joe because he did win the championship, but this is New York and I am sure they will start talking about his job.
