Burnett to miss the beginning of the season......

[Madison]

Last I heard, Burnett was supposed to be ready, but I guess he's behind schedule:

A.J. Burnett - S - Florida Marlins Nov 30

A.J. Burnett, coming back from Tommy John surgery, will begin throwing off flat ground next month and off a mound in January.
Burnett, who will be tendered a contract by the Marlins next month, is expected to miss at least the first month and probably the first two months of next season. Source: Palm Beach Post

Thanks for the update.

One lesson I've learned the hard way: Under no conditions should you activate a player for his first start back from an injury like this.

Especially if he's a Cardinal (or playing on any team that La Russa may be coaching).

Not really that unexpected....I wouldn't be suprised to see him miss alittle longer than that.....

C'Mon Burnett...


Imagine that Marlin team with Burnett....

In a non keeper, i think AJ is worthless this year. In a keeper, maybe if you can stash him. One only has to look at Woods results when he was rushed back (near 5 era). Even if AJ appears in June, thats way too early (14 months) from surgery.

Imagine if he was still with the team that drafted him.

Just kidding, DK.
