The Critic Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3761008 They're going after him hard. Burnett is expected to decide this week. I'd be surprised if that 5th year doesn't seal the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 ESPN already reported that the Braves would go 5 years, and that they were talking about more money than Zambrano got. How stupid are these people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 07:35 PM) ESPN already reported that the Braves would go 5 years, and that they were talking about more money than Zambrano got. How stupid are these people? Dude, he throws like 95 miles per hour! And he pitched a no hitter 8 years ago! If you're not willing to pay a 36 year old AJ Burnett somewhere between 16 and 18 million dollars then there's something wrong with YOU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangercal Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Good! I hope they offer Lowe 5-6 years too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 This is going to be a deal teams regret and I love Burnett most than probably anyone on this site (cause he has ridiculous stuff). I assume if the Yanks are still going after Burnett that it means the initial rumors were false and that they haven't in fact inked Lowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkDJ Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 The Yankees have raised their offer to 5-yr $91m, an equal contract to Carlos Zambrano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow...that is all I can say. Give a pitcher with a history of being injured a 5-year contract for ridiculous money....Carl Pavano part dos???

ChiSox_Sonix Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 This doesnt bother me b/c the Sox werent going after him. There is no way AJ Burnett would stay injury free and there is no way he all of a sudden harnesses his erraticness (word?) pitching in NY. Still, what an atrocious contract. The Yankee$ really do suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
