That being said, he did pitch very well against AL East opponents. One thing I agree with you. We don't expect him to be an ACE. For 2009, he just need to be a no.3 starter.<BR/><BR/>As for Lowe, Yankees' defense is not real good for him.<BR/><BR/>As for Sheets, His medical records may say something that Yankees scare of. On top of that, He hasn't prove he can pitch in AL East which is an edge Burnett do has.Jessica Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763469077445655085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-48665548154229903252008-12-13T08:40:00.000+11:002008-12-13T08:40:00.000+11:00I totally agree that they will get 2 of the 4 you ...I totally agree that they will get 2 of the 4 you mentioned. I also agree the best 2 would be Andy and Sheets for the reason you said, shorter contracts. My 3rd choice was originally Lowe because I think he's better than Burnett, but now i'm looking at them as kind of the same. I guess Lowe has less injury problems, so he gets the edge. Doesn't matter what I think....it seems like the Yankees like Burnett best. I guess I can live with him, but they'll be stuck with him for 5 years. Really thats not bad because even if he declines, he'll only be counted on as the #3 (behind CC and Wang). If Hughes, Joba, or Aceves step up, then Burnett would possibly only be needed as a #4 or 5. Throw in Lowe instead of Pettitte and thats a good rotation for many years provided at least one of Hughes/Joba/Aceves ends up being a #3-level starter. That last point is still a big assumption for now.MJBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284049072292523587noreply@blogger.com
