AJ Burnett threw 2 innings in a minor league game for the first time in like 2 weeks. Supposedly his problem was scar tissue breaking loose.
Carl Pavano is out of the Yankee rotation until further notice. Their rotation to start the year will be Johnson, Mussina, Chacon, Wang, and Jaret Wright. I'm sure casinos will give you good odds on which one will be the first on the DL, which one will spend the most time on the DL, and which 2 will be off of the DL at the end of the season? In another brilliant move, the Yankees will use Mr. "Off Day" as their 5th starter for the first few weeks of the season, because no pitcher ever benefits from an extra day of rest.
