C.C. & A.J.

The Good
1. CC has averaged 222 innings per year throughout his career, and has thrown more than 192 innings every year since his rookie year. Sounds pretty durable to me.

2. CC has a career ERA of 2.77 in September/October. Just the type of pitching the Yanks need down the stretch. On the flipside, CC has a career ERA of 4.51 in April. The Steinbrenners will need to be patient.

3. CC was drafted by the Cleveland Indians with the 20th overall pick in the 1998 Amateur Draft. Other notable first round picks included: Pat Burrell, Mark Mulder, Corey Patterson, J.D. Drew, Austin Kearns, Felipe Lopez, Carlos Pena, Jeff Weaver, Brad Lidge, Bubba Crosby.

4. AJ is 5-0 with an ERA of 2.56 in 56 innings against the Boston Redsox. AJ is also 3-0 with an ERA of 0.40 in 22 innings at Fenway Park.

5. AJ let the AL with 231 strikeouts and 34 games started in 2008.

6. AJ exhibiting softer side in helping young teammates.

The Bad
6. Rumor has it that AJ suffers from bipolar disorder.

7. AJ has not put together back to back seasons of 170+ innings since 2001-02.
