Because I watched press conference of CC and AJ and already have started rooting for the guy, I choose AJ.Jessica Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763469077445655085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-26129484645765629282009-01-20T06:12:00.000+11:002009-01-20T06:12:00.000+11:00I'm not sure Lowe couldn't handle the AL East so m...I'm not sure Lowe couldn't handle the AL East so much as he had a down year (after many years of being well above average) with bad timing (when cheaper pitchers were having good years). Lowe has better control and injury history. Burnett probably has a higher upside (mainly due to the age factor), though he also seems to have a lower downside. All in all, I think it's pretty much a crapshoot between them. Neither is an ace at this point and they both have strengths and weaknesses that have to be considered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-65464196948376683812009-01-20T02:08:00.000+11:002009-01-20T02:08:00.000+11:00this one is easy.

He thrived in LA, because the NL West doesn't seem to pose the same offensive threat on a given night like our division. Factor in ballpark sizes too.. Fenway is a bandbox. Conversely, Burnett has shown the ability to dominate AL East opposition, and has done so recently and often. SO in conclusion.. a man who several years ago, did not pitch well here, versus a man who can and does. Ask yourself that question, Lowe or Burnett. The only real issue is about injury history, where Lowe has a sizable edge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
