February 19, 200422 yr Sportsline 7. A.J. Burnett, Florida. In people's wildest dreams, they never figured the Marlins to win the World Series last year ... let alone win it without Burnett. As good as Josh Beckett is, Burnett could be right there, too. And if he is, it will be a huge boost to Jack McKeon's club. The Marlins don't plan to rush him this spring, figuring if he's up and at 'em by May, that's fine with them. Scout's view: "That would be a big one. Florida has enough pitching that they don't have to rush him. That's the biggest thing, because I think Burnett will want to throw 100 mph right off the bat."

Saving AJ so he is strong in the back half of the season would be very strategic. :shifty
