CC Sabathia says that people should get used to seeing him with a heating pad in the dugout, something he often uses to keep warm. "If you look at the tape, I have done it before," said Sabathia. "The heating pad will be there the next few months. Until it gets hot, I will use it." Sabathia was seen using one in the dugout during his Opening Day start against the Orioles, which prompted some concern in New York. CC has used the pads as a precautionary measure since suffering oblique muscle problems in 2006.
