A.J. Burnett may not be a Yankee, but analyzing his post-Yankee days may tell us how other team’s approached the problem child. The starting pitcher has been wildly successful this season, posting a 3.59 ERA, a 3.50 FIP, a 7.44 K/9, and 2.84 BB/9. Most of the media’s analysis has ended at the [...]
I don’t mean this the way you think. Time and time again during A.J. Burnett‘s rocky tenure in pinstripes it seemed like he was the missing piece.

While George King believes the deal will be finalized sometime this weekend, Jim Bowden thinks it’ll be done by tomorrow afternoon. It appears the Yankees have offered the Pirates a [...]
Although as of this moment no AJ Burnett trade has been completed, I was curious to see how AJ could be expected to perform if he does end up getting traded to Pittsburgh . After a solid 2009, Burnett has put together 2 nightmarishly awful seasons in the Bronx. His fastball velocity has declined, his [...]
Even though we’re a few days before the official pitchers and catchers deadline, some big names have already begun to show up. Michael Pineda spoke to the press today about his outlook on becoming a Yankee, adding a changeup, and his friendship with Robinson Cano. There were a few tidbits on a [...]
There are many aspects to examine when trying to create trade proposals, for instance, team needs, contract situations, player age, roster spots, the list goes on. In regards to the A.J. Burnett trade talks with the Pirates, daily rumors have hinted at what kind of player/players the Yankees might receive back. Of course [...]
