TAMPA -- CC Sabathia has a corner locker at Steinbrenner Field, the spring home of the Yankees, and the big lefty was there on Valentine's Day morning spreading some love in a pre-workout interview.
Before heading outdoors on reporting day for pitchers and catchers, Sabathia sounded like he was drinking Yankees Kool-Aid the way he was talking up teammates.
The 2017 Yankees aren't being picked to do much this year because several young and inexperienced ones will be playing key roles, but Sabathia remembers last season's playoff push after the club's summer fire sale and foresees something special brewing.
