Not sometime ago, Burnett would be a valuable commodity in most baseball spheres. He'd a global Championship under his belt in 2003, an 18-win season in 2008, a sick strikeout rate on the way, and 2 five WAR seasons to his title (2005 and 2008). As a result, he was signed to some (cringe-worthy) five-year, $85 million contract last year. He’s tumbled and fumbled since that time, though, and fantasy proprietors and Yankees fans alike have started to hate the guy.
Inside a 12-team, AL-only league, he was, in the first Yankee season, worth a rock-solid but unsexy $12 because the 23rd rated pitcher. The following year, he clocked in because the 118th best American League starter, useless on fantasy rosters in each and every feeling of the term. A small rebound made him the 72nd starter within the AL last season, worth under Wealthy Harden (82.2 innings pitched with nearly identical ratio stats: 5.15 ERA and 1.43 WHIP), Matt Moore (who began two games), and Fautino p los Santos (who had been wrongly considered a starter but pitched only 33.1 underwhelming innings). Burnett, quite simply, was fantasy kryptonite.
Throughout his demise, though, he’s continued to be well above league average in strikeout values and wins. Based on Baseball Monster, his strikeouts were built with a worth of 2.02 in the first Yankee year, 2009 (ranked as excellent), and maintained b .85 value along with a 1.33 value within the following 2 yrs, correspondingly. Furthermore, he won only 10 and 11 games this year and 2011, both ranked as above average inside a standard 12-team AL-only league.
Let’s take a look at his Yankees many dissect, in addition to we are able to, his fantasy value.
