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 on the FAN 590. As reported on Sportsnet.ca, 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 (worth $55 million U.S.). Burnett, who came off the disabled list last Thursday in Minneapolis, lasted four-plus innings against the Twins, then went on the DL again three days later ? for the 10th time since the 2000 season ? with a strained right shoulder. "I don't know if it's psychological," Ricciardi said on the FAN. "I don't know if ... he gets to a point where he feels something (and) he's so scarred from being hurt so many times that he just backs off."
