To tell you the truth I haven't made up my mind about Andy yet so lets compare them for a minute by stats and age.
Burnett Age : 31 2008 18-10 4.07 ERA lifetime 87-76 3.81 ERA
Lowe Age:35 2008 14-11 3.24 ERA Lifetime 126-107 3.75 ERA
Pettite Age 36 2008 14-14 4.54 ERA Lifetime 215-127 3.89 ERA
They all look like pretty much the same guy to me except at different ages.
Burnett has had his share of Injury problems but seems healthy now he also seems to strike out allot more batters than Lowe. The last 4 years Lowe has had an ERA under 4 but he has also been in the National league. Pettitte gave up over 100 earned runs last year and was horrible after the all star break. I guess Burnett looks like the better deal to me given his age, ERA strikeouts. Ok I have decided on Burnett, Sabathia and someone else other than Pettitte or Lowe to Fill out the rotation next year. Humm Let me see perhaps.....PEAVY!!!!
