April 23, 200521 yr "I know he threw a lot of pitches, but that was among the best (performances) I've seen -- ever," said Cincinnati's Adam Dunn. And just think... AJ wasn't even really 'on'.

AJ wasn't even really 'on'. 752239[/snapback] Yeah I read that in the game recap too. Thats some nice praise. He did make Dunn look silly on that one AB where Dunn looked at 4 pitches, all four curves, didnt swing at one of them, and was called out on strikes.
April 23, 200521 yr Even when Burnett is off he is on :lol In the Sun Sentinel Casey also said this: About AJ "He is the best I have ever seen, ever!" :banana
April 23, 200521 yr If AJ is not with us next year.. I hope he goes to the American League so we dont have to face him :lol But I believe he will stay with us for many years to come :prayer

April 23, 200521 yr Ouch wait until Adam sees Willis and Beckett. This isn't the Central Adam. 752254[/snapback] right, because the Central has no good pitchers :plain
April 23, 200521 yr Ouch wait until Adam sees Willis and Beckett. This isn't the Central Adam. 752254[/snapback] Wood, Prior, Zambrano, Maddox, Mulder, Oswalt, Pettitte and Clemens anyone? And those are only the names off the top of my head. :mischief

April 23, 200521 yr I've said it before and I'll say it again- IMO AJ has the best pure stuff in the majors.
April 23, 200521 yr I've said it before and I'll say it again- IMO AJ has the best pure stuff in the majors. 752303[/snapback] I concur. Josh Beckett is right behind him in terms if stuff imo. Top four in terms of Stuff: 1. AJ Burnett 2. Mark Prior 3. Tim Hudson 4. Josh Beckett

Both are in the top 10 but I have yet to see Greinke so I can't really make a determination.
April 23, 200521 yr I like Beckett's raw stuff more than Burnett's. Burnett doesn't have a breaking ball that can be compared to Beckett's curve.

AJ's knuckle curve is better than Josh's curve IMO 752988[/snapback] Josh has better control with his curve, and AJ's is just absolutely nasty therfore AJ's curve has the better "stuff" but Josh's curve is probably the better pitch
