A Big Start For AJ
The Yankees need a lot of innings tonight from Burnett. They need him to protect a bullpen that is going to probably get a lot of use Monday and Tuesday.
We are probably going to see a ton of roster juggling by the Yankees over the next couple of days. I would imagine Kevin Russo will get sent down and Juan Miranda promoted to provide more of a DH-type bat tomorrow. With Mitre on the mound tomorrow and limited to 60-75 pitches, I would expect you will see Romulo Sanchez pitch a bunch of relief innings on Monday and get optioned down afterwards for another arm. The Yankees will then cross their fingers and hope Javier Vazquez can pitch more than 5-2/3 innings (his season high) on Tuesday. And as long as Aceves is on the shelf, expect the Yankees to carry 13 pitchers.
It's going to be a messy few days, but it will be a lot neater if AJ can give them some length tonight.

So, does Burnett plan on giving up a touchdown every time he pitches at Fenway Park?

Yeah Tyler, they are going to need design a new prevent defense when he pitches there apparently
