Highlights from today's Yankees news conference

Some key points from today's news conference at Yankee Stadium:
‧ CC Sabathia will wear No. 52. A.J. Burnett will wear No. 34.
‧ Sabathia was listed at 311 pounds in the postseason. "I work out every
day," he said. "In December and January I do two-a-days. ... I don't
think my physical appearance is going to change much."
‧ Ten minutes after GM Brian Cashman left Sabathia's house, on the night
of Dec. 9, Sabathia turned to his wife, Amber, and said, "I'm going to
be a Yankee."
"It was kind of a stressful deal," Sabathia said of the free-agent process.
"I was just trying to make sure I made a good decision, the right decision.
"I don't want anybody to think I didn't want to come here. That's definitely
not the case."
He claimed the Yankees, Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Angels were his
top three choices going into free agency.
‧ Cashman said he had plotted to go after Sabathia for more than a year;
it's why he passed on trading prospects for Johan Santana. Instead of
spending talent and money on Santana, Cashman wanted to get Sabathia
for just the cash.
‧ Sabathia on being able to opt out after 2011: "I look at it as I'm
going to be here through the duration of the process."
‧ Sabathia said he has been asked to play in the World Baseball Classic but
is leaning against it to he can spend all of spring training getting
acclimated to the Yankees. Burnett said he has not been asked and would
decline if he is.
‧ Burnett can name 10 teams per year to which he cannot be traded.
‧ Cashman on Burnett's injury history (10 DL trips from 2000 to 2007):
"He's a bona fide front-line starter, when he's healthy. I know there's
risk to it at the same time, based on the past history. So we're hopeful
that luck will be on our side."
‧ Cashman on Andy Pettitte: "We'd like to have Andy back, and I know he'd
like to come back. That's set up for maybe a positive end result. It
doesn't guarantee it."
‧ Team co-chairperson Hal Steinbrenner on Manny Ramirez: "He's a
tremendous hitter. We have a certain amount we're going to spend, and
we're evaluating how all the pieces fit together."
‧ A note from the Elias Sports Bureau: Sabathia had 17 wins for Cleveland
and Milwaukee last season and A.J. Burnett had 18 wins for Toronto. It's
only the second time in the last 105 years of baseball that a Major League
team added two pitchers in the offseason, each with at least 17 wins the
year before. The other team to do it was the Astros. Prior to the 2004
season, the Astros added two former Yankees, Andy Pettitte
(21 wins for the Yankees in 2003) and Roger Clemens (17 wins for the
Yankees in 2003) to their rotation.
