A.J. Burnett's pitching performance quickly became a secondary concern for the New York Yankees. The right-hander, hit on the upper part of his left arm by John McDonald's second-inning line drive, remained in the game and wound up allowing one run and three hits over 3 1-3 innings during New York's 7-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night. Toronto starter Casey Janssen, competing for a rotation spot after missing last season due to right shoulder surgery, left with one out in the first because of tightness in the shoulder. The Blue Jays said the problem was due to muscle fatigue and ... Read Full Story

CC Sabathia is clearly the front-runner, but between A.J. Burnett, who has a slightly lower ERA, and Pettitte, who has a marginally lower FIP (sabermetric ERA), it's not clear who's really second or third. FanGraphs valued Pettitte's worth at $1 million more than Burnett's in...

There was no reason for the Yankees to start A.J. Burnett on three days' rest in Game 5 of the World Series against the Phillies. I'm not second guessing.  As I wrote after New York won Game 4 to go up 3-1, sending the right-hander to the mound was an unnecessary risk.

Burnett is scheduled to start on short rest against Philadelphia ace Cliff Lee in Game 5 of the World Series on Monday night. CC Sabathia went on three days' rest Sunday night in Game 4, and Andy Pettitte could do the same in Game 6 if the Series returns to New York. "Our guys...
