the guy's an incredible pitcher. but he's not one of the 15 best #1s in the league. we're the yanks, we should recognize he's great but not elite elite. our #1 goal should be to have a top tier #1 starter to pair with him. not an easy task i understand.

It's not faulty logic.  

This is baseball.  It's different game with a different team structure.  Individual accomplishments carry more weight in baseball.  In baseball you can have a pitcher stand on the mound with no Participation from any of the players in the field and still get the win.  In baseball you can have one guy hit a home run and still win the game.  your logic is faulty because you group all sports into one lump and fail to take into account the differences in the games. 

Individual players in baseball can and do carry more value, in many cases.  That's why they get more individual money than football players and why there's no salary cap in baseball.  Supply and demand dictate those economics, along with the particulars of the game.

Carp ... Great post!

Shhhhhhhhhh.................CC is an ace. He's unbelievable. Unhittable. He makes 24 million a year. In big games he's automatic.  He's incredible. In his last 70 innings last year he gave up something like 90 hits........but hey. He was tired. Look at his numbers in the post season............but hey. He's another Sandy Koufax. He's Bob Gibson. Unhittable. That's what they tell us..........right? Who are we to question that? If THEY say he's great. He's great.

you're not really allowed any out of the box thinking or questioning on this board. another form of fandom to me is the questioning of the path of your team and an ability to analyze what's the best course forward. too many folks on this board are narrow minded and believe the only definition of being a fan is to mindlessly root for your squad regardless of its choices. sure that's one way to be a fan, but i believe there are many ways and one the reasons i love baseball is i have opinions about the direction i'd like my team to go in. to folks on this board, questioning the current course of action is "spoiled" or a reason for me to "go become a red sox fan if you don't like it".

no pun intended, but these people are "yes" men. 

yeah and woe to the people who go against them
