In response to "I'm surprised you put Burnett in that list. 13 game winner 1 time and he's 30+ years old." by Will Hunting

Wins are next to meaningless. AJ's a pretty good pitcher. Overpaid, for sure, but irrespective of that, he's a better than average starter.

As for Wang, I don't think he's *great*, but he's good at what he does. He plays to his strengths and like I said, you can do a lot worse for a #3.

Responses:

The problem is your #2 is a 12 game winner who's usually good for 25 starts a year and needed a torrid 2nd half to finish with an ERA at 4.07. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 11:21 4
- Again: Wins are meaningless. Saying he's a "12-game winner" means nothing. If he prevents runs, the Yanks benefit, regardless of his record. - musubi Jan 6, 11:27
- I would switch Wang and Burnett in the rotation. Wang = 2, Burnett = 3. But maybe that's just me. -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 11:25 2

  - So would I, but Wang's coming off an injury and Burnett is the big ticket FA. The order is pretty much only nominal after the first week anyway. (nm) - musubi Jan 6, 11:29
