As a Pirate fan, I'd like to give the Yankees a belated thanks for AJ Burnett.
If Ichiro had started in the majors at 22 or 23 we likely would be looking at a 4000 hit career. He may just be having an off year, look at Jeter's comeback at the same age, although he depends more on leg speed for some of his hits so the analogy may not be an apt one.
