I've been persuaded by arguments on both sides.

My head says, Nah! But my heart says, hell yeah! He's this big, lumbering aging pitcher who has had to adjust from being a fireballer to mastering other pitches to continue winning (having a powerful Yankees offense behind you helps too). I sorta root for him, at least against teams that I dislike or don't care about.
