I'm sorry, did you just say "Verlander is no CC Sabathia" as if Sabathia is better than Verlander? If that's the case, I'd like to know how you can say that because Verlander is better than Sabathia, no question. There's a reason why he won the MVP in 2011. Sabathia used to be an ace. He's not that anymore.
