Yankees Interest In Burnett Cooling?
MLB.com reports that the Yankees may not make Burnett an offer if he insists on a five year deal. I can’t say I blame them. While I think he’s the better choice compared to Lowe and Peavy, he doesn’t come without concerns. The biggest concern with Burnett is health, considering he’s been on the disabled list 10 times in 10 years due to various arm issues. He’s only had 2 injury free season his during his career. Yes he was 18-10 last year but the two prior seasons he was 10-8. I don’t think he’ll get 5 years from any team. The Yankees are wise to wait him out.

It’s always fun to sit back and see what the Yankees will do in the off season. Maybe they should pick up the 1st ever female Japanese player, who was just drafted. Check this out:
