Sure, New York escaped with a win on Monday, but after bad outings by veteran pitchers Bartolo Colon, Freddy Garcia and now A.J. Burnett, do the Yankees need to bolster their starting staff?

When A.J. Burnett first joined the Yankees, he couldn't lose to the Rays. Now he can't beat them. He had better figure it out, because there are major playoff implications at stake in this four-game series.
