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.

kyle,

I'm not looking to get into a pissing contest with you, nor is this an issue of who's baseball dick is bigger, so cool your jets big guy.

I just wanted to know what your experience was in regards to those two?

What we're talking about here is simply a differing opinion of how these two will stack up against each other in the future.

I'm interested in your opinion as to why you think Carmona will experience some regression?

It will be interesting to see how it works out. If you're a devoted Indians fan, it's quite a problem to have, isn't it?

And, just to have a little fun with this discussion, if you could choose only ONE, who would you pick for your #1......Beckett or Sabathia?
