Burnett and Rothschild ready to work

Joe Girardi has not spoken to Cliff Lee this winter, but he has called CC Sabathia — “His rehab is almost complete,” Girardi said — and an Andy Pettitte phone call is in the not-so-distant future. As for the Yankees most unpredictable starter:
“A.J. and I have talked a lot,” Girardi said.
A.J. Burnett has three years left on his $82.5-million deal. He’s going to be in the Yankees rotation next season and beyond, and a repeat of 2010 would be an absolute debacle. Rebuilding Burnett is almost certainly the most important task of Larry Rothschild’s first season as the Yankees pitching coach.
And Burnett seems to know it.
Girardi said this afternoon that Burnett has already reached out to Rothschild, and the two will get to work this offseason. The problem is easy to diagnose but not necessarily easy to fix.
“Refining his mechanics,” is the way Girardi described it.
When Burnett is good, he’s very good. When he’s out of whack, last season happens. With all the moving parts, Girardi said Burnett has to be “on time” in his delivery. It’s not an unusual phrase in baseball circles, but it’s easier said than done.
Rothschild, it seems, has been given his first assignment.

RT @jcrasnick: Darek Braunecker, Cliff Lee’s agent, has left the winter meetings, so there won’t be any deal here. … Ay yi yi.
DaSaint007 December 8th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
Catherine Bach (Daisy Duke), Michelle Ryan (Bionic Woman), or Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman)?
——————–
I thought Lindsay Wagner was the Bionic Woman.
Braunecker was originally supposed to stay in Orlando until Thursday. Has anybody seen Cashman? LOL maybe they are meeting offsite.
I’m starting to hope Cliff Lee rots in Washington………..
so cashman at the winter meeting for a few chats, but he did chat with crawford. i never seen a nagotion like this has been with lee and his agent
Girardi on MLB TV in two. No braces, thats official.
the agent leaving could be a good sign – he got what he came for (the Yankee offer) and has no reason to stick around. Maybe.
maybe he left to go meet cliff lee and announce our deal?
I’m with you Doc Todd.
“I thought Lindsay Wagner was the Bionic Woman.”
She was. Think Michelle Ryan might have been the Bionic Woman of the newer generation.
Cliff Lee has left the building with Yankee offer in hand.
Now execute the plan without an answer Cashman.
GODSPEED!!!
In his 8 years in the majors prior to 2010, Crawford had an aggregate slash line of .295/.335/.437/.772, which translates to an OPS+ of 103.
That’s fine and all, but for the price I don’t see it given what the Yanks have already.
CB was completely on target this AM.
I think Cliff Lee’s agent has used up his 15 minutes.
KenDavidoff The #Yankees met today with the representatives for free-agent LHP Pedro Feliciano.
Brauneker better get is act together.
He leaves the meetings with a more than a day to go.
Unless he has an offer in his hand I don’t get it.
Maybe Cashman left with Braunecker. Cash said he was going to meet with some players and hopefully he followed to meet with Lee. If not Braunecker is definitely making this into a circus, it’s Boras like.
For what it’s worth:
Heather Locklear circa TJ Hooker
Erin Gray from Buck Rogers
Rebecca Holden from Knight Rider
Melinda Culea from A-Team
and of course – almost all of Charlie’s Angels
RAB sums up the attitude on Braunecker
RiverAveBlues I want to strangle this guy. What a half-assed negotiation on his part. RT @jcrasnick Darek Braunecker, Lee’s agent, has left the meetings
Braunecker seems to be enjoying this too much to let it end.
Braunecker told CBSSports.com that he may or may not return, but that it’s now very unlikely that Lee will sign a new contract before the Winter Meetings end Thursday.
Braunecker wouldn’t say where he was heading.
“We’re going somewhere,” he said with a smile.
IMO, while I’m sure the Yanks have a Plan B, there is no Plan B.
Lee is calling the tune and the Yanks are going to have to dance to it.
Lee’s agent is NOTHING like Boras. This guy is working with Lee who we know is worth what he is demanding in the market. Boras often manages to get big deals for players well above what people think they should. Boras is the greatest at what he does.
Even with A-Rod, he put 10/350 out there and got the Yankees to 10/275, no matter how it ended with Alex handling it ‘himself’.
I would want Boras working for my future.
Doumit had a .532 OPS against LHP last year.
Yes folks, Lindsay Wagner was the original Bionic Woman.
I’ll admit that I forgot her name, looked it up and wrote down the modern-era replacement.
Doesn’t even compare.
My bad.
pat,
Sounds like a secret rendezvous with the Steinbrenners and their bank account to me.
Doumit has had some concussions too, he is too risky. A butcher on defense and no longer offers the positional versatility that made him useful because of his concussion risk at catcher. He is 1 big hit away from being put away for good ala Ryan Church.
pat,
I think you are absolutely right. Both Lee and his agent are enjoying the headlines. It might be time to give him an ultimatum. He’ll get lots of headlines in NY.
honestly, how hard is it to make a decision? I am sure Lee has been thinking about what/where he would like since last year. He must have 4-5 offers to choose from, just pick and let the other teams move on.
Maybe Lee’s agent has the Yankees offer in hand and the Yankees want assurance that he won’t shop it, so he left the meetings to give them the assurance.
The Yankees were hinting at wanting a faster pace and I bet that when they all met, the Yankees cut right to it and presented their final and very persuasive offer.
Erin Gray from Buck Rogers
Nice, Chip. Very nice.
One of my favorite…shows of course…
Be nice to think Braunecker has al the information he needs and is heading to Crapkick, Ar-Kansas to discuss with his client what’s what. Wouldn’t shock me if this is over sometime on Friday.
Maybe Lee’s agent has the Yankees offer in hand and the Yankees want assurance that he won’t shop it, so he left the meetings to give them the assurance.
—————————————————————————————————————–
I’ll assume you have heard of this thing called a telephone.
Braunecker is obviously going to meet with Lee, and at this point they know the deal. Sign with Texas for less money or the Yanks at the highest. It’s time to make a decision. The only question is has Cash made an offer yet?
Barbara Hershey from The Monroes. Ah, those teen age fictional romances.
Randy l is still torn between Jane Hathaway and Granny. he likes ‘em much younger than he is.
Braunecker walked out when Cashman chose Ginger and Veronica.
Lee: 5 years $115M, with a $15M 6th year player option that vests at 180 innings, or a $5M buyout.
Unless the Yankees new pitching coach is a miracle worker, or a certified shrink I wouldn’t expect too much more out of AJ. HOPEFULLY the Yanks can get an 09-esque year out of Burnett.

Comet,
If you are still there, I am freezing in NY. Happy holidays to you and yours.
6/140
Lee’s agent can’t make the decision for him. He’s collected all the offers so his job is done. He’ll head back to his office, wait for Cliff to finish his vacation deer hunting and then they’ll sit down and discuss where Cliff wants to go.
I find it to be a positive that he left after getting the Yankee offer – as if that’s the one he was really waiting around for.
More to the point it just confirms my guess that these 7 year offers Heyman was touting are bunk.
As for Doumit – I don’t think you bring him in to be an everyday guy – but if you’re asking him to be a Marcus Thames type bat off the bench – I don’t see how you go wrong.
DaSaint –
Of course having been born in 78 – I grew up with crushes on Tiffany Thiesen (Saved by the Bell) and Alyssa Millano
Chip, cosigned on Kelly Kapowski and Alyssa
KenDavidoff #Yankees have other needs (RH OF, lefty relief, maybe C), but unlikely to commit more payroll until they know the deal with Cliff Lee.
KenDavidoff And Pettitte will probably stay undecided until Lee decides. #Yankees
Decide already Lee!!!!
I hear ya Chip. Yes, that would be right for that generation.
Anyway, I feel bad for the ladies here who are probably bored with this line of convo. Sorry ladies, we digress.
Latest On Athletics Designated Hitter Search
By Tim Dierkes [December 8 at 2:32pm CST]
This morning, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle posted the latest on the Athletics’ search for a designated hitter:
•Vladimir Guerrero is now open to a one-year deal with any AL West team. The Mariners are probably not a match given the Jack Cust signing, and the Angels probably aren’t planning a reunion, so this news really only affects the Athletics.
•The A’s still have Hideki Matsui atop their list, though he’s drawn interest from the Orioles and possibly Rangers.
***•Nick Johnson, said to be fully recovered from wrist surgery, is also in the mix for Oakland.***
he hasn’t taken a deep breath, yet. That’s the first step in his rehab.
As for Doumit – I don’t think you bring him in to be an everyday guy – but if you’re asking him to be a Marcus Thames type bat off the bench – I don’t see how you go wrong.
–
Doumit isn’t as good as Thames was vs LHP would be where you’d go wrong. I see where you are coming from, and I don’t think I would be totally opposed to it, but I feel like Matt Diaz or someone like him would have more to offer.
Having been born in 87, my major crush was Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid..
GB
1 can hope but a Braunecker sighting on It’s A Small World or Tower of Terror and I would knock $10 M off the deal if I’m Cashman.
The Rangers and the Yankees both met with him today. Others probably did as well. To suggest he left because he now has the Yankees bid is probably a bit optimistic. I do tend to agree that it is approaching decision time, but how he is leaning or what the offers are, we have no real idea.

I don’t know if Kate is around but I got news on the Buster Posey ball I’m supposed to get signed. I am pretty sure that sometime next week it will be in my hands. The person getting it for me said she is going up to Georgia and coming back with a surprise. At first I assumed she was going to stuff Buster in a bag and bring him to me but that seems unlikely so I’m thinking she got the ball signed.
If Braunecker has all the offers, he might be on the way to meet with Lee.

I totally understand that it is Cliff Lee’s perogative to take his time, to mull things over, to make sure he makes the right decision for him and his family.
But -
His agent was even entertaining offers until, what, last night? At least, as far as we know. So what has he had to mull over exactly?
His agent has not exactly made a great impression here. One has to wonder: how much of a reflection on Lee is his agent? How much of this is directed by an agent wanting to be the center of attention for as long as possible (or so it seems), and how much by a client who really doesn’t know what he wants?
Whatever. What he ‘s managed to accomplish is making a lot of Yankees fans bored (and Yankees executives weary) with the entire process to the point where while they’d like the Yankees to acquire Cliff Lee, they’d much rather move on than be held hostage.
** wasn’t entertaining offers** that is.

I love that line (and movie)
Chip – the scenario you painted about Lee and his agent having what they wanted – offers in hand – seems to make sense. Just because one doesn’t understand someone else’s actions, doesn’t mean that they don’t have a plan. I could see that they got the offers they wanted to get, including one from the Yanks, and will now act to finalize one of them.
I don’t believe that Lee has been out of touch this whole time. He’s been looking forward to being a FA for years, and now, this is it. He and his agent have plotted out their moves, daily. More likely, I think, is that this story of him gone hunting is just to keep the writers away from bothering him, possibly at some relative’s home.
Maybe Cash is meeting with Braunecker offsite somewhere. Cash does like to work quietly, out of the way of prying eyes/ears.
As always, we fans will be the last to know.
Erica-Kelly belonged with Brandon, and Dylan belonged with Brenda. End of story.
Don’t even get me started on the infamous “I choose me”

JackCurryYES The winter meetings will return to Orlando in 2013. Dallas is the site in 2011 and Nashville in 2012.
I was a big Backstreet Boys fan. I had a whole wall dedicated to Nick Carter. He lived in Tampa too which I thought was real cool.
Brandon was just too much of a goody-two-shoes for me lol. He was all faithful, and honest, and smart, and was still friends with the weird girl that edited the paper, and he never rode a motorcycle without a helmet like Dylan…though I did love it when he got drunk and got behind the wheel. Cracks in the armor.
Maybe look at somebody like Josh Fields on a MiLB deal as a ’4 corners’ type player. He has his flaws, obviously, but he’s has hit LH pitching well in his career- .293BA/ .357OBP/ .600SLG/ .957OPS.
JackCurryYES Braunecker surely has his reasons for leaving meetings, but departure wont’t help pace of the Cliff Lee negotiations

Same agent as AJ and I don’t remember this much of a cat and mouse game then but AJ wasn’t the lead dog that year, CC was.
“More likely, I think, is that this story of him gone hunting is just to keep the writers away from bothering him… ”
joe from long island-
one of those tweeting reporters probably heard lee saying he was going after big bucks and somehow that turned into a deer hunting trip as the story made the rounds.
My first crush was Paul McCartney. Only lately has that dimmed a bit.
Robert Redford, circa “The Way We Were,” “The Great Gatsby,” “Butch Cassidy,” and “The Sting” and “The Candidate,” was a later crush.
Jimmy Smits and Antonio Banderas, current and long-time crushes.
Matt Diaz just signed a two year deal with the Pirates.

Or someone like him. If possible to find a better bat vs LHP or one with more defensive versatility. If Doumit had to play every day I don’t think he’d have the same impact Thames did.
I think some idiot has poured cold water on the Hot Stove and put the fire out.

No, the AJ process was much more straightforward – didn’t even know the agent’s name. Maybe he’s been waiting for this opportunity as much as Lee has been. You’re right – CC was center stage that time around.
Angelina Jolie circa Billy Bob Thorton was her at her best.. I think she looks a little skeletal now. Same goes for Brad Pitt circa Jennifer Aniston. She may have gotten Brads hottest years.

I would have gone Saturday but I was in AC) and all I cared about was that the new car had Sirius so that I could have the Bridge.
Anyway, when I got the Sirius installed a week later the Bridge was gone and I had Fireman radio….. I was not happy

That’s too funny!
I had the opposite feeling though – I never knew it was a temporary thing. I thought it was going to be a McCartney station much like the Springsteen station. So I was driving merrily along until one day I turned on my McCartney station only to have the Bridge again!!! (But I love the Bridge, so I got over it.)
Also, the novelty of listening to one artist all the time wears off fast. I loved the Springsteen station at first, and now, only listen once in a while.

They have a history of interest in Crawford if you believe the chatter. why wouldn’t they be it’s an oppty to get him w/out giving up players just $$$. the draft pick they can make up since they pay way over slot anyhow and can get guys no one else would take chances on. guy can hit 20-25 hr and swipe 50+ bags. lethal
Erica……Welcome back !!!! I think Paul will be on SNL and was invited to perform a concert a few days later at The Famed Apollo Theater……Doreen, I’m certain you still squirm whenever you here ” All My Loving “…It was his first song he ever wrote, the first song they sang on the Ed Sullivan Show, and sadly was the song playing over the Roosevelt Hospital intercom when John Lennon was rushed into the ER 30 years ago tonight……Time to hit some golf balls…….Ah The Beatles

I got news on the baseball. I think ill have it by next week. She said she is going up to GA and is bringing me back a surprise which must be the baseball unless she is going to bag up Buster and bring him to me which is unfortunately unlikely so that must mean she got the ball signed.
Martin turned down $4.2MM plus $1.5-1.7MM in incentives, so you’d think he thinks he can get somewhere north of $6M guaranteed.
I think only boston offers that. Cashman wouldn’t, not with Posada and Cervelli as options in addition to Montero/Romine.

hah, too bad it wont be Buster!
