Giving Up Golf

You won't see C.C. Sabathia hitting the links this spring:

Retiring every batter in exhibition games is not Sabathia's priority. Avoiding a strained muscle in his rib cage is. That precise injury sidelined Sabathia for the first month of each of the past two seasons.

Sabathia thinks golf might be the problem.

'I don't know if that was the reason I got hurt,' he said. 'But I think it had something to do with it. So I'm definitely not playing this year. I can play more video games and throw more batting practice to little C.'

Little C is Sabathia's 3 A1 2-year-old son.

From the description of his golf game, it sounds like Milliliter isn't that good anyway. I know the great Braves staffs of the 1990s used to golf all the time with no apparent problems. Maybe C.C. just needs a coach to improve his swing.

And I'm going to start referring to his son as Microliter. :-)

Baseball Musings is holding a pledge drive in March.

I think he could also stand to lose a couple of pounds -- not much, but maybe 10 lbs. IIRC he does have a bit of a gut.

If he is so willing to give up golf, he isn't a REAL golfer anyway. ;)
