  • Roster Watch: A.J. Burnett

    October 30, 2012 Respond

    First off, I hope everyone is okay after these storms.  They continue in a lot of places so please just be safe. A.J. Burnett was possibly the All Star of the Pirates team last year.  He epitomized leadership.  How?  By being a great clubhouse guy AND performing on the field.  I am a proponent of…

  • Neal Huntington’s Top Five Moves

    July 9, 2012 Respond

    Since it’s the All Star break I figured it would be fun to look at some of Neal Huntington’s moves and break down the five that I think were the best. 5. Trading for Jose Tabata, Ross Ohlendorf, Jeff Karstens, and Daniel McCutchen This one doesn’t look quite as good as it did in the…

  • “It’s not about me”: Burnett wins 7th straight

    June 22, 2012 Respond

    AJ Burnett is the best pitcher on the New York Yankees’ payroll, but he’s pitching in Pittsburgh, for the Pirates.  Tonight was AJ Burnett’s 7th straight win, a career high.  He pitched 6 shutout innings, giving up 2 hits and walking 3.  The Pirates’ offense gave him the help he needed, pounding out 9 hits…

  • Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Detroit Tigers – Game 41

    May 20, 2012 Respond

    Yesterday was a pretty good game if you’re a Pirates fan.  Minus the Jason Grilli hiccup the bullpen was good, the Pirates had nine hits, Andrew McCutchen continued his torrid pace, Josh Harrison had another solid game, and Joel Hanrahan looked the best he has all year. My biggest positive was that A.J. Burnett pretty…

  • Exicardo Cayones Named Other Player in Burnett Deal

    February 17, 2012 18

    The second player in the Pirates deal with Yankees is reportedly Exicardo Cayones.  Cayones was actually quite a big signing out of Latin America for the Buccos in 2008, pulling in a bonus of $400,000 bucks. Cayones has a decent eye at the plate, but struggled mightily at State College last season.  In fact he…

    February 17, 2012 14

    Sorry Sean Burnett but you’ve just bumped down a spot on the Pirates all time list of best Burnett’s.  Enjoy your stay at the bottom! After what seems like months but was actually days to weekishes, the Pirates and Yankees have FINALLY agreed on a trade that sends A.J. Burnett to the Burgh.  Burnett will…
