A.J. Burnett takes the mound for the first time in 2011 against the Tigers today. Burnett comes off his worst season, but it's a new year.
A.J. has always been a bit of a head case, who can forget him getting a random black eye last year? That's why this start is important for Burnett, he needs to get off to a decent starts so the media and fans don't get on his back. Today is that perfect opportunity, the Tigers aren't that impressive offensively other then Victor Martinez and Miguel Cabrera and Burnett will be opposed by the hittable Brad Penny.
A win today, and the confidence train can get rolling for Burnett and the bombers.
