[Plastic Bat]

The Red Sox.. and learn how to spell (think)

[PissedPrincess]

Baltimore.

Baltimore. Once they obtain Burnett, I think they'll be all set. Depend on if they get Burnett, which seem like it's going to happen today.

Sox and Yankee have too many problems and I don't think making a few trades can fix them.

Burnett sucks. He is SO overrated it's not even funny.

[Dream machine]

It's the year of the Redsox for the AL east.It's there time to win it....but then lose in the playoffs unfourtinatly.

[Cyberlibrarian]

I think the Red Sox can hold on. As shaky as their pitching's been, they'll still get Schill back in the rotation at some point and they won't have to make a trade to do it. But the Yankees are taking guys of the scrap-heap, hoping they'll pan out.

Why?

[Blue56]

I like Burnett

[Baseball Guru]

I like Burnett


Me too, I dont understand why some think he's overrated:notme:

[Royce]

Let's see, he's 43-44 in his career with a decent 3.80 ERA. His WHIP isn't anything special being 1.29.

This year his BAA is .241. Once again, that's not that great. He is 24th in the league in walks with 47. He is 47th in innings pitched. His WHIP is 1.27 this year. 37 other pitchers have better WHIPs. And btw, he is only 6-6. To me, that is being overrated. People are making him out to be something he's not, he's not a Cy Young. He's an above average pitcher. He's not THAT good compared to others.

[Eva]

Being 6-6 is Florida Marlins offense. Not saying he's not entirely to blame either, but if that offense got him run support, he would have a much better record. Had to be nearly perfect to get a win with Florida Marlins offense. Actually, most people are making him to be an above average pitcher, not a Cy Young. He could really help a Yankee, Red Sox or O's rotation.

[redsoxman]

I still think the Red Sox will win the AL EAST. :wave1:

Who is making him out to be so great?
You said it correctly that he is an above average pitcher.. Unless you are comparing him to Oswalt, Clemens, Pedro or that caliber of pitcher, he is one of the better ones out there...
He k's almost 1 batter per inning, his hits to IP are very good and his era is almost 1 run less this season than the league average.... Is he Pedro, Clemens or Oswalt? No, but not many pitchers are....

[Kiwideus]

I'll go for Yankees, of course! :D

If i were the owner, I'd get Burnett and use him up as a workhorse pitcher, better than nothing though.

[Royce]

I think you and I account for the 2 Yankees votes. :D

[Kiwideus]

[Plastic Bat]
