Sabathia was showered, dressed and ready to leave Tropicana Field after a disappointing performance in a 6-2 Yankees loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. He had already talked about his effort, saying he had pitched horribly, without fastball command, failing to give a hot team a chance to win. Then Sabathia learned that Chien-Ming Wang would need season-ending shoulder surgery. Instantly, his mood turned from frustrated to compassionate. “Missing a year, going through the stuff he was going through when he was here; it just stinks he’s not going to be here,” Sabathia said. “We really need him. He’s a great pitcher.” At least, Wang used to be a great pitcher, when he was the No. 1 starter on the playoff teams of 2006 and 2007. Now Wang’s future is unknown, and he may have thrown his last pitch for the Yankees. Manager Joe Girardi said Dr. James Andrews would operate on Wang’s shoulder capsule in Birmingham, Ala., on Wednesday morning. Girardi said Wang would miss the rest of this season, but the extent of his absence beyond that would be determined after the procedure. Girardi has already acknowledged that Wang has rotator cuff damage. If the outlook is bleak enough, the Yankees could make Wang a free agent by not offering him a contract for next season. He made $5 million this year and is eligible for arbitration. By rule, the Yankees can offer no less than a 20 percent pay cut, or $4 million.

I honestly relate the shoulder injury he suffered this year to that. I think he was compensating his motion and how he was throwing due to that foot injury he suffered. Pure speculation on my part, but it could be a possibility. Tough break for him, probably won't pitch for at least 12 months. I wish him a speedy and successful recovery.
