No, I've never seen them pitch live. It's not like I was born in Cleveland and watch probably 100+ of their games on mlb.tv and have a long-standing history of being a Cleveland homer on this board (to the point of being quoted in a BPro chat about the choke job they pulled in the playoffs).

Sabathia strikes out more batters, walks fewer, and is more durable.

There is no argument that Carmona is a great pitcher (but will probably experience some regression next year), but it is very unlikely he will be better than Sabathia.
