September 14, 200520 yr There are four teams at the moment atht would like Burnett, there probably will be more suitors. Well, atleast none are from the NL east, even though he actually is under 500 against the NL east. That is insane, well atleast the Marlins will not get sucked up into over paying him. Heck, Pedro got 13 million, a future hall of famer. I think we can replace him with someone cheaper, I know we can find someone who can win 12-13 games for alot cheaper than 12-15 million a year. Here is the link of some marlins news and articles. http://www.prosportsdaily.com/mlb/marlins/rumors.html What do you guys think?
September 14, 200520 yr Yankee's will pay. That's why their GM's name is "Cash"man. 944839[/snapback] No they won't Odds are a team like Detroit or Toronto will give him big money

He already bitches about poor fan support down here. He wants to pitch in front of sellouts. So if it comes down to the Sox, Yanks, or Tigers.... he is choosing the former.

And in terms of being worth $12-15? He won't get that much. If he pitches like the AJ of July and August, mixing in his sinker, curve, and change, he'll definitely be worth whatever money he gets.
September 14, 200520 yr No he's not, and that's why he's not going to get it. The real question is "is AJ worth 4 years and $36 million?"
September 14, 200520 yr I expect the Yankees, Rangers and Blue Jays to be the frontrunners for AJ. I wouldn't mind seeing him pitch for the Jays.
September 14, 200520 yr NO X 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown :mad :mad :mad
September 14, 200520 yr Considering his talent, the free agent market for starting pitchers, performance, and current starting pitcher's salaries, AJ Burnett is absolutely worth 12-15 million. I wish the Marlins could re-sign him, but that is a pipe dream.

September 14, 200520 yr Talentwise yes, production no. Which are you paying for? I'd pay for the production. I'd probably give him 8 mil, tops.
September 14, 200520 yr Yankee's will pay. That's why their GM's name is "Cash"man. 944839[/snapback] Cashman is gone after this season, most likely by his own choice. I'm sure he wants to be a real GM, not George's lapdog. And I wouldn't give AJ more than the 3/21 we offered Pavano.
September 15, 200520 yr Are you guys watching the game? $15 million dollars......... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
September 15, 200520 yr Nice to see AJ bring his "A" game to the most important game in his career. :plain Sure he's worth every bit of $12M per year. :plain Too bad this game isn't nationally televised so he could get all the press he deserves. :plain How could the fans not all clamour to go the ballpark when he pitches. What's wrong with all these fans? :plain
September 15, 200520 yr I doubt the Yankees are going to want a pitcher that chokes in big games. He keeps up this pace he can forget about NY.
