AJ Burnett

[GeoffM]

Burnett got $55 million for 5 years to be a #2 starter. $11 million a year with player opt-out options after the 3rd and 4th year of the contract.

Good to see the Jays have been capable of staying within striking distance of the Yanks and Red Sox though. I'm telling you all now, we'd be the ones being chased if Burnett were healthy.

Edited to add: Yes, I am one of those rare Canadians that knows oodles and oodles about baseball. I use to play rep. ball. The team that represents Canada at the Little League, my team at that age would have smoked them, but we didn't play Little League rules.
