Diamondbacks sign SP Corbin Burnes - 6 years $210m

[AZ Native]

Color me very happy about this signing. But I am a little skeptical, I don't want to be, but it seems we are always getting burned on MadBum or Monty. Greinke was not a bust, but his contract eventually hampered us. I hope for the best this time around.

I get that, however, the situations are very different in that Greinke, MadBum and Monty are old than Burnes, who just turned 30 back in October. Additionally, especially in the case of Greinke and MadBum, Burnes has significantly less innings pitched. And of course, Monty has never pitched at the level of Burnes.

All valid points. I guess I can't appreciate good things without thinking sometimes bad will happen. I've been a Phoenix sports fan for so long, I get a little gun shy.

Don't get me wrong...I too feel a little angst. But, if there is one team in the valley that seems to buck the trend of valley teams not being able to enjoy the good things, it's the Dbacks.

I still have Shelby Miller nightmares.....

Miller wasn’t a Cy Young winner and hadn’t compiled consecutive top-tier seasons as Burnes has done…

Wouldn't he be more like Kurt Schilling? Both were great with us. Just stylistically, I am asking?

Well he is not a lefty but he is a power style pitcher who eats innings.

Ironically he is better against lefties despite being a righty.

I haven't seen him pitch that I can remember. I am ignorant of his skills. Thanks for letting me know he is more like Johnson than Schilling.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are a Corbin Team

Very few players in MLB history have ever had the name, 'Corbin' and two-thirds of them have played for the D-backs

Another reason to like new #Dbacks RHP Corbin Burnes?Per Cot's Baseball Contracts, Burnes is donating 1% of his salary/signing bonus to club charity.Now part of Burnes deal is deferred, so I don't know the exact amount, but its well over $200k. Good for him.
