http://tinyurl.com/p5ts72c A.J. Burnett Will Pitch In 2014, Test Open Market A.J. Burnett plans to play this year, reports Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, and the hurler may be open to pitching for a team other than the Pirates. This news throws a considerable wrinkle into the free agent pitching market. Prior to today's news, Burnett had been expected to pitch for the Pirates or retire, with the latter option looking increasingly likely. Now, he becomes one of the best arms available on the open market. Burnett, 37, is coming off of two outstanding seasons in Pittsburgh. After a 202 1/3-inning, 3.51 ERA effort in 2012, Burnett threw 191 innings of 3.30 ball last year. He led all National League starters in 2013 with 9.8 K/9 and a 56.5% ground ball rate. Among free agents, Burnett had the lowest FIP (2.80), xFIP (2.92), and SIERA (3.10). Burnett landed in the ninth position among baseball's top fifty free agents, according to MLBTR's Tim Dierkes. For teams looking to add impact without taking on long-term obligations, Burnett makes for a tantalizing option. That is especially so since, unlike other top rotation arms that remain, he is not tied to draft-pick compensation since the Bucs felt they could not afford to make a qualifying offer. As MLBTR's Steve Adams wrote before the offseason, Burnett would fit nicely in even the game's top rotations. Pirates GM Neal Huntington has previously indicated that the club was not in a position to pay Burnett at the top of the market, though the club has made clear recently that it remains interested in a reunion. The Orioles have been mentioned as a possible alternative landing spot for Burnett given his reported preference to play in close proximity to his Maryland home. Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun tweets that Burnett "would be at the top of the club's list." Other Mid-Atlantic clubs could presumably also be particularly appealing to Burnett, and the Phillies have reportedly also expressed interest, Sawchik tweets. 1.AJB劇場終於有了定論。在調戲了Bucs幾個月之後﹐AJB終於確定﹐老子2014年不退休! 2.AJB會考慮任何可能的球隊。(幾個月前誰說的retire or pitch for PIT ??) 3.由於Bucs沒有提QO, 這樣任何球隊簽AJB都不會丟選秀權﹐Bucs也沒有任何補償 XD 4.Ervin Santana, Uball: 幹! 本來就還沒工作﹐還出來跟我們搶!!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 128.252.20.193 ※ 編輯: hunterqiji 來自: 128.252.20.193 (01/29 06:42)
