Francesa's 2 Yankee points today: Burnett and Chamberlain
Francesa's Yankee points today, AJ Burnett needs to stop with the pies. He should join in the fun by pitching well instead.
- Number 2, Chamberlain must go to the bullpen. The Yankees have gone to great lengths to prove he 'can' be a starter. (My note: Hank Steinbrenner-remember him?- made that his big issue). They're right--he 'can' be. But he's above average at best in that role and has been babied doing it. Francesa cites high walk and hit totals.
- Coincidentally, the Yankees have no one for late inning relief (7th and 8th inning, usually referred to as 'an 8th inning guy' but is more than that).
- They cannot possibly win without a reliable set up man.
- P.S. The 'Chamberlain to the pen' issue has been labeled 'silly' on the internet. Many who make this claim are not Yankee fans and are anonymous anyway. To those who are Yankee fans, the situation this year makes the argument moot.
