Good Riddance: See Ya AJ
So much to say about AJ Burnett's NYY tenure. I for one disliked the signing from the get-go and not surprisingly AJ's performance in pinstripes was less than stellar. For just 3 years, he was paid $70 Mil and worth about $28.2 Mil total. With an average annual value of $23 Mil (Same as CC's AAV) we got 6 wins of production, paying a staggering $11.67 Mil/Win. CC last year alone was worth over 7 wins at the same price. Just a complete albatross of a contract and allocation of funds to a truly awful pitcher. And for all those "what about game 2 of the world series!?!?!" argument here are AJ's Yankee postseason #'s:
2-2, 39 IP, 5.08 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 1.35 K/BB
I could go on for days but I'll spare Yankee fans from remembering AJ any further. So AJ all I can say is good riddance and godspeed.
