Sabathia has begun 2008 with four horrendous starts, yielding 46 baserunners (32 hits including 5 homers, plus 14 walks) in only 18 innings. He managed to escape with a no decision in his first outing, but got pegged with the loss in each of the last three. He now stands at 0-3, 13.50 ERA ... in his free agent walk year. http://humbug.baseballtoaster.com/archives/956626.html Thu, 17 Apr 2008 12:21:00 PST http://humbug.baseballtoaster.com/archives/945383.html Much has been already written about the Tigers awful start.
