Following Lee will be young right-hander
Tommy Hunter, who lasted just four innings in his postseason debut in Game 4 of the ALDS. Yet, the Rangers might be more confident in what Hunter will give them than the Yankees can be in mysterious, enigmatic starter
A.J. Burnett.
In a simulated game Wednesday,
Burnett's first pitch sailed over the catcher's head. Then he hit two batters, guys on his own team. When asked prior to Game 3 if he would consider starting
CC Sabathia on short rest, Yankees manager Joe Girardi simply said, "We're on rotation."
After the game, asked if Burnett will still start, Girardi said "yes."
