Already been said 10000 times, but man are the Yanks dumb.
A) Burnett buckles under the pressure
B) Burnett is a puss and gets injured often
I'd sure like Burnett on my team, but at that price, it's crazy. Sabathia is good, but how is a guy that overweight gonna perform over the course of his contract. Both huge overpayments and while it may work out for them in 2009 and 2010, it's gonna hurt them afterwards.
