Yanks offer AJ; Does Omar Hate Starters

ESPN is reporting the Yankees offered AJ Burnett a five year deal.

I was planning on writing tonight about how Omar seems to think the Mets have pitching. Every free agent whether Burnett, CC, or Lowe has been attached to the Yankees. I have not heard a single Mets rumor.

I am President of the Niese fan club, but he is kinda untried don't you think? I love Maine but he is coming off an injury and was not really that good last year. Do you really believe in Pelfrey yet?

I have not analyzed the Burnett deal. Maybe it is awful. Maybe he breaks down in two years. The Mets have money, do not act like they do not  have every advantage the Yankees have - they do (network and new stadium).

Omar you need three starters. Pick up the phone.

As far as I am concerned there is only one acceptable option for 2009: win the World Series. After these last three seasons a pennant, division or dopey wild card is not enough. 23 years and counting - time to raise a flag!
