Burnett on the other hand has had injuries, but SOME team is going to pay him and look at how dominant he has been recently.
I would hardly call him dominant. He's got the pretty K's, but he was erratic with a high WHIP. He basically just had the same season as Oliver Perez, and he's older with a long history of injuries. I would much rather spend on the bullpen and a reliable innings eater...

Burnett went 18-10 on a team that had no business winning 86 games in the Majors toughest division. He pitched 221 innings w/ 231 K's and an 4.07 ERA in the AL East. I'd take him tomorrow.
