this coming from a Yankees fan:
Fat CC will wilt under the summer heat and humidity at 292 lbs The friggin audacity of these bastards to ask the NYC taxpayers for another $450,000,000 for their new stadium and they offer this fat slob of an athlete $160,000,000...makes no sense. And they wonder why long time season ticket holders like myself canceled our seats!

Unless the Rays start addressing their needs, Boston can walk through this year. The deal for Hermida fell through (Rays are unwilling to part with their pitching prospects) but are rumored to be in talks with the Cardinals and close to a deal involving Rick Ankiel for Sonnestine and/or Jackson. They still haven't address the bullpen situation (legit closer) |

Good comparison talent wise...but Fernandez tore up his arm pitching in the 1997 NLCS. So if Sabathia suffers a serious arm injury, yes the comparison works...otherwise...not really.

On a positive note (the pinstripes are going to come out now) you have a big three now of Sabathia, Wang and joba. Hughes should be back and is probably going to get pretty good if he can stay healthy (operative IF). Now they are throwing money at Burnett. Thats a very solid pitching staff. The question is, why would you throw five years and 80 million on a guy thats 31, injury prone and most likely your number 5 pitcher?
Either way, this staff could easily be amongst the best. If everything goes perfectly, they will be THE best. Now im hearing Melky for Mike Cameron? I guess they will take whatever they can get for melky now even if its another centerfielder that should no longer be playing center field. |

Burnett is a typical Yankee move. Buying the top for a guy who had a career year. Especially when he pitched against the Yanks. They love signing guys that played well against them. They did it with Giambi, Damon, Pavano. Now they are going to try to do it with Burnett. I think the guy has great stuff, but he is just too much of a injury risk for the amount of money and years that they want to give him. Here is his lines against the Yanks last year. IP H R ER BB SO HR A Burnett, W (1-0) 6 5 2 2 1 3 1 A Burnett, W (10-8) 8.1 6 1 1 1 8 1 A Burnett, W (16-9) 8 5 1 1 1 13 0 A Burnett, L (16-10) 8 7 2 2 1 8 0 A Burnett 8 7 2 1 2 11 0
