Ugh, sometimes I really hate baseball and the players who play it. You know this year Burnett pitched through pain that normally shelves him, but since he knew he could opt-out, he finally pitched in every game (first time in his career).
Some team is going to give him 5/18 ($90 mill) and wind up with what he is... a big time pussy who will give you 100-160 innings of relatively well-pitched baseball, but in the end not make a difference for you.
