NY POST Article about AJ Burnett
The Yankees had scouts at Burnett's last performance before the break, but it appears they are not one of the teams the Marlins can find a match with if they decide to deal the right-hander, who is a free agent after the season.
If the Yankees lose Burnett to the Orioles, White Sox or Blue Jays, it would be a double blow.
Marlins catcher Paul Lo Duca has been a big reason for Burnett's recent improvement, finally convincing the 28-year-old to throw his changeup more.
How good is Burnett, in Lo Duca's expert opinion?
This good: "He really has the ability to throw a no-hitter any time he starts," Lo Duca said
AJ> LoDuca, therefore, Burnett would improve hear on the South Side....which is scary. Also, reading about how it would be a blow to the Yankees if we got Burnett...how did they react when the were so "close" to acquiring Freddy last year???
