He's got no reason to break his trend now.
Regardless of what he does he has owned us so that could save us a few L's.
I see him throwing about 700 innings over this contract.

If Joe Torre was still around, he'd throw 700 in one year even if his elbow is falling off.

"Heeeere's the pitch.......and it's hit HIGH!!! But blood goes everywhere!!! Why?? Because Proctor's arm followed the pitch to the plate!!!"
How did Burnett do in the '03 playoffs?The excitement will ebb after he hits the DL the first time. In May.I much rather would have had Lowe, league switch and all.
That's what I'd like to know...
Oh, wait, he got hurt...and they still won the WS.
He's started over 25 games only 3 times in his 10 year career.
Great signing, Yanks.
And with both Joba and Hughes set for only 130 IP's, that's a problem. Someone will need to make Joba's starts, even with him getting skipped, and it won't be Hughes who has his own limit. So you're looking at filling, what, 10+ starts for each Joba and Burnett? What's 20 starts? The amount of starts Rasner made last year.
And that's not including the 30 starts the other pitcher we'll bring in needs to make. At least we should only need 2 depth pitchers, unlike last year when we needed 5, though that was partially due to our depth sucking. It's high risk/high reward at a time where we need innings out of our other four pitchers. That fourth/fifth starter we might be signing had better be more than shit at the wall.
Here's how I figure it:
CC will (assumedly) make his 33 starts
Wang will (assumedly) make his 33 starts
AJ Will make....lets assume 22 starts?
Joba will make...lets say 25 starts?
Hughes makes...(guessing) 25 starts?
That leaves about 27 starts out in the open. And the problem is that it would be difficult to sign another starter, because that would mean 6 different starters expecting to be in the rotation from day 1.....
I'll begrudgingly give you AJ, though I disagree, but both Hughes and Joba are on innings limits. They're not going that much more past 130 IP. That's roughly 20 starts. There's also the fact that Hughes recently dropped and added to his arsenal, and he MUST get a good feel for his changeup and cutter. He can't survive, right now, on his curve and fastball. It's extremely likely Hughes will start in Scranton, because he has mechanics and pitches to work on, and he's got an IP limit too.
But you are right in that the Yankees don't need another big name pitcher, but they need a guy who can give them a lot of league average innings as a 4/5 guy. We have our 4 for the playoff roto, everything willing, we need someone durable now.
I only assume a low total for AJ because he has never in his career reached the 200 inning mark for two consecutive years.
This was his third 200 IP season. The first time, he followed it up by pitching 23 innings the next year. The second time, he pitched about 103 innings the next year.
So, I'm assuming 22 starts, that's about 130 IP this year.
Now, this could be the year he totally bucks the trend. But I'm not convinced he'll stay healthy all year.
22 starts is not staying healthy all year. i honestly could see him missing a few starts but not that many. i say he makes it to 30 starts. going out on a bit of a limb, but i really think he does. plus...i just don't see Hughes coming up soon enough to get that many starts. and yes, he and Joba will both be on inning counts. so they do need someone. Sheets could fit the bill because even if he gets hurt, your count says 27 starts out in the open. he could get that.
I'm banking on him not being healthy. Which is why I'm worried.
While he is certainly injury prone, there's no doubt about it, I feel like it's still being overblown. We will see, but I don't think he's AS injury prone as everyone is making him out to be. I'm not ruling out something bad happening, but if I had a gun to my head, I'd say he's gonna be ok
