A.J. Burnett

Will Sabathia and Burnett Push the Yankees Past the Red Sox?

By Mike ⋅ December 18, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The Yankees made the first big splashes of the Hot Stove Season with the $161 million signing of CC Sabathia and $82 million contract for A.J. Burnett. The signings were huge for the Bombers (and not just because of CC’s size) because they addressed their biggest weakness of the 2008 season.
The Yankees had the offense highlighted [...]

Red Sox Should Not Sign A.J. Burnett

By Pete ⋅ November 22, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

There has been recent talk about the Red Sox looking to sign free agent pitcher A.J. Burnett. The Sox are seeing if they can improve the starting rotation with the flame-throwing righty who was 18-10 last season with a 4.07 ERA. He lead the A.L in strikeouts with a career high 231, which was the 3rd [...]

Red Sox Farm Friday: Michael Bowden

By Dan ⋅ November 21, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Do the Red Sox have a starting pitcher of the future? Well no other pitching prospect in the system looks as promising as this tall young righty. Michael Bowden could be a Red Sox middle-of-the-rotation starter for the next decade. Of course, Bowden is still just a prospect. Many similar prospects have come, impressed, and [...]

How to Fix the Yankees 2009 Roster

By Adam ⋅ November 17, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The Yankees have quite a bit of holes to fill this offseason. Simply put their hitting last year was abysmal (partially due to injuries, but also some guys aging) and their starting pitching had so many injuries that they relied much too much on Sidney Ponson. Their fielding has sunk to a really poor level [...]

Fantasy Wrap-Up: Week 18 (7-28 - 8-3)

By Pete ⋅ August 5, 2008 ⋅ One comment

The trade deadline has come and gone. Several big names such as Jason Bay, Manny Ramirez, and Mark Teixeira have found new homes. I was very happy to see that Pat Burrell was not traded to the Red Sox because now I don’t have to trade him in my leagues (I hate having Sox players). [...]

Fantasy Wrap-Up: Week 13 (6-23 - 6-29)

By Pete ⋅ July 1, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

If you look through the box scores from Saturday night, you will come across a stange site when you see the Dodgers and Angels game. The Dodgers won the game 1-0. The strange part? The Dodgers won the game without the benefit of a hit. That’s right, The Angels’ Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo combined [...]

Jays Keep Sox Bats Ice Cold, Win 3-0

By KC ⋅ May 2, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

A.J. Burnett pitched into the eighth inning, holding the Sox bats at bay all night in a 3-0 Blue Jays victory. Burnett held the Sox to just three hits and five walks with five strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings to earn his third win of the season. Tim Wakefield pitched well in defeat, going seven [...]

AL East Fantasy Preview: Toronto Blue Jays

By Pete ⋅ February 24, 2008 ⋅ One comment

Oh Canada, our neighbors from the north. The Jays once again finished 3rd in the AL East behind the Sox and Yankees. This is no longer the franchise from the glory days of the early 90’s but there is most definitely some pure talent in this lineup. Of course the notion that Toronto can overcome [...]

Lester vs Burnett

By Dan ⋅ September 18, 2007 ⋅ One comment

It’s a bad pitching match up. A.J. Burnett (8-7, 3.42) has had seven straight quality starts. And in that time hasn’t allowed more then 3 ER. In the last two starts he’s allowed only 1 ER and had 8 K’s.
Jon Lester (4-0, 4.86) in nine starts this year has allowed four or more earned runs [...]
