It certainly wasn't his intention, as he'd later explain, but Blue Jay general manager J.P. Ricciardi got a few listeners up in arms over comments he made yesterday morning about A.J. Burnett on his weekly radio spot. Ricciardi suggested there might be a psychological aspect to Burnett's long litany of injuries and that, if this were the winter of 2005 again and he had the pitching staff he now has, he probably wouldn't sign Burnett to a five-year deal.

Ricciardi is grossly unqualified to offer medical opinions, except as they relate to his own terminal hemmoroids.

2 years later, he finally knows what the rest of the world knows.

What a stupid contract. You would have thought Burnett was an 18-20 game winner with Florida considering the contract the Jays gave him.
