Burnett Copyright 2009 636116 Yankees | Halladay would be No. 3 starter Mark Feinsand, of the New York Daily News, reports the New York Yankees would use Toronto Blue Jays SP Roy Halladay as their No. 3 starter behind SPs CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett if they acquire Halladay this winter. The Yankees have their sights set on signing either Halladay or Philadelphia Phillies SP Cliff Lee if both become free agents after the 2010 season, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The Yankees may be forced to trade players such as C Jesus Montero and OF Austin Jackson in a package with either Ps Phil Hughes or Joba Chamberlain. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/A.j._Burnett/636116 636116 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:40:01 EDT kffl.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/A.j._Burnett/636116 Yanks looking at Lackey The New York Yankees could be willing to give top free agent pitcher John Lackey a contract similar to the five year, $82 million one they gave A.J. Burnett last offseason, according to Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated.

Our View: Lackey is probably an all-around better pitcher than Burnett has ever been, but his asking price will likely be driven down by his recent injury history. The Yankees, who were exposed as having a rather thin rotation toward the end of 2009, have to be considered the favorites for his services. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/A.j._Burnett/632113 632113 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:24:01 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/A.j._Burnett/632113 Yankees | Looking at Lackey Jon Heyman, of SI.com, reports the New York Yankees are looking at signing free-agent SP John Lackey (Angels), according to sources. The team is likely to be willing to repeat SP A.J. Burnett's $82.5 million, five-year deal for Lackey. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/A.j._Burnett/630401 630401 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:48:02 EDT kffl.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/A.j._Burnett/630401 Yankees | Burnett to be available out of bullpen Mark Feinsand, of the New York Daily News, reports New York Yankees SP A.J. Burnett said he expects to be available out of the bullpen for the final two games of the World Series after throwing only 53 pitches in Game 5. However, manager Joe Girardi said it is doubtful he will use Burnett in relief in Game 6 unless it was an emergency. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/A.j._Burnett/620254 620254 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:00:03 EDT kffl.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/A.j._Burnett/620254 Hughes relief for Yankees PHILADELPHIA -- Phil Hughes might have made some postseason progress last night, but Phil Coke admitted his night was embarrassing.

Pettitte is the all-time winner in postseason play with 17 victories, but if a younger A.J. Burnett lost so much in the three days from Game 2 to 5, there is wonder even within the Yankees clubhouse about how this will all work out. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/A.j._Burnett/618316 618316 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:20:02 EDT Jon Heyman http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/A.j._Burnett/618316 For A.J., fear strikes out in Game 5 A.J.

Our View: The contusion he suffered after getting hit by an A.J. Burnett pitch in the first inning on Monday made it hard for him to grip a bat, but the swelling should be down by game time Wednesday. Victorino is a gamer, and will surely play. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/A.j._Burnett/618108 618108 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 9:36:02 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/A.j._Burnett/618108 Burnett bombs, says 'I let the city down' PHILADELPHIA -- By the time the Yankees got into the suspect Phillies bullpen late in Game 5 last night, the early ditch A.J.
