Yankee Financial Domination continues

From the city that never sleeps, we bring you the newest FA signed by the Yankees: A.J. Burnett. This is the kind of high risk signing few teams other than the Yankees could afford. (Think Carl Pavano.)
The deal is $82.5M 5-year for an oft injuired right hander that last year had career highs in wins (18), strikeouts (231) and innings (221 1-3). Never mind those 10 trips to the disabled list for various elbow and shoulder injuries, he should work out just fine.
