The newest member of the Pittsburgh Pirates A.J. Burnett didn't have the best time ever during his first bunting practice. He fouled a ball off his face Wednesday and fractured his right orbital bone. Burnett flew to Pittsburgh late Wednesday night to be further evaluated and will undergo surgery on Friday. The word is it will be anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks for his return.
Burnett needed a change as he struggled during his final two seasons in New York, posting a
21-26 record with a 5.20 ERA. He led the major leagues with 25 wild
pitches in 2011 while allowing a career-high 31 homers. When I say he needed a change, it probably wasn't a change to his face that he had in mind.
