Re: A.J. Burnett to NYY
Best rotation in the american league if they stay healthy.
Also their should not be a salary cap, and if they do their has to be a base salary cap like $60 million so teams like the pirates and marlins have to move on. It's not are fault their owners dont care about their team. They use the money from the yankees to buy new homes and not add another player or two.

Re: A.J. Burnett to NYY
Sorry to see him leave my Jays... (just as he gets healthy) but other than coming on strong in the second half of a "long-shot-at-best" playoff run last season, he was injured alot and didn't really didn't impress for sustained stretches on the mound.
I never wish harm or bad luck on anyone, but since he stayed in the AL East and with the dreaded Yanks, no less....I will change my approach some, anday that I hope he reverts to his 2006 form.

Re: A.J. Burnett to NYY
I'm glad to see the Yankees get the pitching they need so bad. Next year will be exciting. I do wish that they could have won the world series in the final season of Yankee stadium.
However, I'm excited for next year. Hold on...Manny Ramirez in on the other line. He said he's signing with the Yankees!!!!

Re: A.J. Burnett to NYY
Great move by the Yankees picking up Burnett. Banking on him to contribute in their rotation for the next 5 years will prove nothing but trouble. Lets go over the numbers:
On the DL 10 times in his career
over 200 innings 3 times(2 of the times were "contract years")
more than 12 wins once(last year "contract year")
Turning 32 in January
This guy is a dog and now that he got his last big contract he's going to sit back and collect his fat cash. I predict DL trip #11 happens before Aug of this year and he'll be in no rush to come back. Enjoy!

Re: A.J. Burnett to NYY
Kell,
But if the red sox's signed him it would have been the greatest move ever.
