Over the last two weeks, the hottest topic that has everyone from baseball fans, bloggers and expert analysts talking about is what the heck are the New York Yankees going to do about their now over-crowded pitching rotation, and more specifically AJ Burnett.
Logos from around the baseball blogosphere.
Among the three contenders, which also include Phil Hughes and Freddy Garcia, AJ Burnett has gotten thrown in the ringer.

Admittedly, I am still in the midst of being just as engrossed with this topic for already longer than I would have liked, but something’s you just can’t help.
What I can do is shut my mouth, and let other baseball bloggers do the talking.

The Yankees tried to trade for Hiroki Kuroda at the trade deadline last season, but he evoked his no trade clause and stayed in Los Angeles.

He’s had 9 straight seasons with at least 30 saves and since turning 40 he’s saved 77 games. His WHIP has been below 1.13 for 14 straight seasons and since...
