"I go back to those core four," Sabathia said Tuesday after his first pre-spring training workout at the Yankees minor league complex. "Those guys can stay hungry after five rings. They come in and they're excited to get to the ballpark everyday. It rubs off on the whole team. We definitely look to those guys for leadership and we look for them this year, again, to lead us."Nothing much to say about the quotes -- pretty generic stuff. He did also say that Granderson could hit 50 homers as a Yankees, but that's slightly ridiculous.

"Just from the day I signed, trying to get adjusted," Sabathia said. "To be able to come out and win the World Series in the first year of the new stadium, it was definitely a great year."
Sabathia started throwing on flat ground in December, part of his normal offseason routine. The left-hander will have his third bullpen session-the first in Florida-on Wednesday.
"I'm feeling good," Sabathia said. "You want to win, again."
As for CC himself, I expect another big year from the big lefty as he leads an even better starting staff in 2010.
