Burning Burnett
Keep Your Sox On - Red Sox Baseball Blog About Red Sox Baseball —
Beckett, Lowell, possibly D-Train and now Burnett ? Is Boston's strategy for 2009 to recreate the 2003 Marlins? Actually, I should be grateful I can make that joke; were we still living under the Yawkee Trust, reassembling another club's championship team six years later might have been an operating strategy. This Thanksgiving, as every Thanksgiving since 2003, I'm grateful for the ownership of New England Sports Ventures. But really: what's with the interest in Burnett?

From Mark Feinsand: The Yankees have made their desire for CC Sabathia well known. But when it comes to Mark Teixeira, could the Bombers be laying in the weeds? GM Brian Cashman has been saying very little when it comes to this year's free-agent market, but a source familiar with the team's thinking said that while starting pitching is clearly the Yankees' priority, adding another impact hitter is also one of the team's goals this winter. "The Yankees may be focused on pitching, but don't think for a second that they wouldn't still love to land a big bat," the source said. "They need another RBI man in that lineup - ...
