He's never made any trade demands and has simply done his job on the mound. One of the only criticisms of Sabathia has been about his weight. CC weighs close to 300 lbs, but Sabathia also knows how to take a joke. Big League Stew recently interviewed Sabathia and asked if he had read The Onion article about him imagining Prince Fielder as a hamburger: Q: OK ...

It’s brown, heavenly goo that makes people lick the wiener wrapper clean (sometimes I hear big people say “that’s what she said!” after something like that). Now that my favorite Cleveland Indian, CC Sabathia, is gone I kinda like the Milwaukee Brewers more.

Talking about Sabathia's start afterwards, Fielder was positively salivating: "It's a lot of fun, ...
