Yankees' Stage of high expectations got to him.
AJ is a head case. Not all players, especially pitchers, can play on the Yankee Team. Much is expected. And high demands are set, to be met under the Big spotlight and a lot of stress.
AJ had great mechanics. But his head affected them.
Couldn't shake it off. Poor AJ.

I always liked A.J but when the Yanks go into a game vs. an easy team, and A.J makes the team seem like the Phillies. Anyway when Cash signed him, he was a RED SOCK KILLER!!!!!! and evryone wants a pitcher that can shut down a high-power team, but i guess all the recongition of him and the money he wud get went to his head and he 4got how to pitch. Sorry A.J you might as well accept trade opportunities and try and start over with a new team. You are not welcome in New York or at least the Bronx. Cash PLEASE!!!!! trade this headcase away this might be a bad pitcher that Pineda might learn from.

Every time AJ pitched, it was similar to watching Mussina.
I was always on the edge of my seat.
Because they were both "in their head" too much.
And both great pitchers.
But every pitch over analyzed.

It's too bad about A.J. Burnett because he has the arm and talent to be a winner for a team like the Yankees. But some kind of chemistry may have taken place in the clubhouse, bullpen or practice field that changed his ability to produce and have any self-confidence at all. Poor A.J. and poor Yankees who could have used his experience.

Apparently he was when The Yankees signed him. He had GREAT mechanics. In my not so humble opinion, he also had GREAT pitching skill and talent but just could never manage to 'bring it'. Take Care, DK DKNY wrote: <quoted text>

<quoted text> AJ has never been a great pitcher nor did he have great mechanics. He was always inconsistent BECAUSE of his mechanics. He was always hurt and always had average stats. The only reason the Yanks signed him was because he had his best season during his free agent year. He stayed healthy and put up good numbers especially against the Yanks. Cashman has always had checkered success in signing free agent starting pitchers. AJ is just another failed free agent signing. His first year he had a decent year but his ERA was over 4.00. GREAT pitchers don't have ERA's over 4.00. He is just another one of the failed free agent starters that have been signed by the Yankees. And we are stuck with him through the end of next season.

Couldn't you have spared me that LAST statement. Because the stuck part stuck in my mind. Maybe he'll improve. Because he can't get much worse. Or can he ... O Good Gawd !! ;

Yankee fans are tired of Burnett saying he thinks he's found the answer to correcting his problems only to turn around and do the same old-same old of imploding after a few innings and blowing good run support.
