AJ looking better each start

AJ Burnett pitched 4 innings yesterday and looked sharp.  He struck out 4 while giving up no walks.  He did give up a home run though, but then retired the next nine batters in order.  AJ was working in his curveball and even used his changeups in a few spots.  Martin was the cather and apparantly pushing Burnett into throwing the changeup.

So far this spring he has not given up one walk over 9 innings.  His ERA over this limited time period is 2.00 which includes that one errant pitch from yesterday which yielded a home run.  He also has 6 strikeouts.  

If this is the AJ Burnett of 2011, I am happy!
