Yankees Win Despite Burnett’s Shakey Outing

The Yankees won over the Pirates today, but not because of the pitching of their supposed #2 starter, AJ Burnett.  Burnett was horrible today, allowing 7 runs, 6 ER, with 10 hits and 3 BB in only 4 and 1/3 IP.  Burnett was signed to a $95 million dollar multi year contract in the off season.

The Yankees were powered by a HR from Robinson Cano, and RBI hits by Derek Jeter, Heideki Matsui and Nick Swisher.

The Yankees open the season April 6th at Camden Yards against Baltimore.

    A.J. could be a beast if he stays healthy (big IF), and I wouldn’t worry about one start.

    Yeah, but AJ only pitches well in contract years. Hey has only had 3 big seasons and all 3 have been in contract years.

    Take a look
