    Thumbs Up Burnett Not In Rotation!!!!!!!

    A.J. Burnett will not be part of the New York Yankees' starting rotation in the American League Division Series, a baseball official with knowledge of the Yankees' thinking has confirmed.

    The Yankees announced Tuesday that CC Sabathia will start Game 1 against the Minnesota Twins.

    Andy Pettitte will start in Game 2, while Phil Hughes will start Game 3 when the series moves from Minnesota to the Bronx.

    The Yankees did not announce a Game 4 starter. But according to the source, manager Joe Girardi will bring Sabathia back for Game 4 on short rest if needed, while Pettitte, who would pitch on regular rest because of the off days in the schedule, would start Game 5 if necessary.


    Burnett's place in the playoff rotation has been speculated about in the local and national media for several weeks. He is on the postseason roster, however.

    He and Zito might be the most expensive mop up relievers ever. Oh wait, Oliver Perez is still alive.
