Have Some Optimism!
PHOTO: AP
Negadelphian. Philadelphians are known for being overly negative, having a doomsday complex when it comes to our sports teams. And no team in this city has given us more of a reason to be negative than the Phillies.
Still, I see reasons to be optimistic about this team in 2014. When I say optimistic, I don’t mean that I think the team will make a run at the NL East. And...

Faces in new places: AJ Burnett changes tune, signs with Phillies - how will he fare in '14?
Weeks ago, it seemed as if AJ Burnett would hold to his presumed Pittsburgh or bust position regarding a return to the MLB in 2014 but a sudden change in heart (evidently spurred by a rift with the team over last season’s extension offer) opened up a market for the veteran righty’s services, culminating in his agreement Wednesday to a 16 million dollar deal with the Philadelphia...

Burnett signing could have deep ripple effects
Hey, it's not our money. Thus concludes my analysis of the AJ Burnett signing.
That is way oversimplifying things, but for a team likely contending for no more than third place, as long as Burnett doesn't cost prospects and won't affect the team after this season, the Phillies can waste their money however they want. That is a big part of why I like the Burnett deal...

Why Burnett Works in CBP
When Phillies Nation posted the news of the Phillies signing of A.J. Burnett to our Facebook page yesterday, it was met with two responses: the wildly original and hilarious “another player to play in Senior Citizen’s Bank park!” response and the “why did the Phillies sign a pitcher when they have a horrible offense?” counter question. I have got no response for the first...

A.J. Burnett Finds New, Mediocre Home
A.J. Burnett‘s been real good for two years, and he was better last year than he was the year before, so there’s good reason to believe he’ll be an effective pitcher in 2014. On paper, he was one of the best pitchers available this offseason, but for the longest time he was a special case […]
Did A.J. Burnett Just Stick It To The Pittsburgh Pirates?
After months of silence, free-agent A.J. Burnett, the leader of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ rotation for the past two seasons and one of the most effective starting pitchers in baseball over that time, says he will put off retirement and be back to pitch in 2014. As an unnamed source told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, “He’s made the decision he is going to play.”
If so, Burnett...

Burnett to pitch…but where?
The A.J. Burnett saga continues, but now we have some actual news to digest:
A.J. Burnett will return to pitch in ’14, per source. Burnett will be open to pitching for a club other than the Pirates
— Travis Sawchik (@Sawchik_Trib) January 28, 2014
As you will recall (or surely have been reminded by now), Burnett previously stated he was either returning to the Pirates retiring...

AJ Burnett to reportedly pitch this year. Are the Phillies an option?
After a terrific 2013 season, free agent pitcher AJ Burnett was on the fence on whether or not to retire from Major League Baseball. However, Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that Burnett will indeed pitch the 2014 season. After a relatively bland offseason, the Phillies look like one of the top candidates to land Burnett. After all, he does meet the Phillies’...
