Forget about the one utterly forgetable start, actually it is pretty hard, but try. The guy has been better than I thought he would be, plus he is the one thing that this team has needed for many many years, and proven experienced major league pitcher that is taking the time not only to work on his craft, but also to help the younger guys. What he has done with James McDonald is amazing, James looks like a completely different pitcher from when I saw him last year.
I bring this up because I am not sure how much longer Burnett wants to pitch, but I think he has a bright future as a pitching coach. I would also like to see him here to mentor guys like Cole and Taillon when they get to the majors. I guess what I am saying is if he is willing to sign for a couple more years, I would be happy to have him. I can handle the 5+ ERA as long as it is there for the reason it is there this year, 3 great outings and one where he just got thumped.
