I think CC Sabathia may actually be finished. When athletes who have battled weight all their lives start having knee and back operations, it's never a good sign. He's actually pretty svelte right now, but I think the damage is done. But I'm not a doctor. Time will tell .
I think his days as an effective starter are over. Some guys can play in their 40s, but to do that you have to start taking care of the body in the 20s.
