sublime, Burnett isn't coping with beanball-shell shock. If you want to accurately compare the two, I think you need to account for Clement's pre- and post-injury numbers. I'll take Burnett.

well, i dont think his being hit in the head matter much, but ill post a few game logs anyways to prove it.

3 games before being hit in head (CWS/NYY/TEX)

16.4 IP's
7 HR's
7 BB
18K's

3 games AFTER being hit with line drive (KC/TEX/LAA)
18 IP's
0 HR
7 BB
16 K's

wow, he actually pitched better after being hit! maybe hes psychic and KNEW he was going to be hit in the head, so he was suffering from PRE traumatic stress disorder. he faced better hitting teams on the whole prior to being hit, but the stats still prove the line drive was not a factor.
