[edit] Clarification in 2005 season section
The paragraph:
"Incidentally, although in his remarks, Burnett criticized McKeon for not allowing the team's less experienced players to have much playing time, McKeon decided to let rookie Josh Johnson, a September callup from the Class AA Carolina Mudcats, make his first major-league start of his career on September 30, 2005. Previously, Burnett was scheduled to make his last start of the year at that game."
has an awful run-on sentence that is difficult to understand without re-reading it. I split it into two sentences and modified it so that it does not directly state that McKeon's actions had nothing to do with Burnett's comments. Speculation is bad, but it is worse when it is stated as if it were fact. Without a good source saying that McKeon's decision had nothing to do with Burnett's comment, we can only assume.
