    It's even worse when you consider his road/home splits. Burnett benefitted enormously from playing in Pro Player, and his road numbers were a lot worse (slightly below average for a MLB starter). He has all the talent in the world, but he's not going to be good in Toronto. His ERA could be 4.5 or higher in the A.L.

    was it Burnett who threw a no-hitter with about 10 walks? two or three years ago.
