A.J. Burnett has struggled and hasn't had the chance to work with Dave Eiland, who is out with a personal issue. "We would love to have him back when he's ready, but Mike Harkey is doing a terrific job in his absence," Brian Cashman said. "We've handled it better than I expected, actually. Other than A.J., everybody else has excelled." "Not having him here is a big loss for all of us, (but) I'm not going to point any fingers or make excuses at all," Burnett said. "I'm out there throwing pitches, whether Dave's in the dugout or not. He's corrected me enough where I should have a memory of what Dave says. I'm a man, I'm a professional athlete who's got a big contract, who's here for a reason, and there's not a reason why you shouldn't be able to do that on your own." |
