Burnett Throws Five Hitless Innings in Rehab Start

Toronto Blue Jays SP A.J. Burnett, who has been sidelined with an elbow injury, pitched five hitless innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Syracuse. Burnett also struck-out seven batters, while walking one. Burnett will make one more rehab start before rejoining the major league club. Either Josh Towers or Ty Taubenheim will be removed from the Jay's starting rotation to make room for Burnett.

I'm so glad the Rangers didn't sell the farm to get this egotistical man made of glass. He's got some of the best stuff in the Major Leagues, but considering how much he's paid versus his record and playing time, he might be the most overrated player in baseball.

Even if A.J. was healthy, I think he would post up mediorce numbers in the AL East.

At least their other bad contract, Ryan, has worked out well so far.

I think in the end this will be one of the worst signings ever.
