Do you want Burnett?

Cliff Floyd turned down 2 years to go to the Braves and he is injured! Doesn't that give you pause? He is from here too.

Word is he wanted the one year deal so he could rebuild value.

You have more then one dubious data point or are you just speculating? (speculating is fine btw)

Is this Gavin Floyd we're talking about?

Is this Gavin Floyd we're talking about?

Yes:) sorry.

But if you are hurt, why not take 2 years? Particularly if it is from your hometown?

I knew what you meant.

He thinks he can get a much larger deal next offseason if he pitches well for the Braves.

Not everyone cares about "hometown" team.

Time kills all deals.

Yes it does. But he'll come running back.

Or even if he doesn't. He can say he rehabbed on someone else's dime.

Although Burnett has an excellent E.R.A. of 2.74 (including 7 shutout innings in his last start), he leads the major leagues with 16 walks in 23 innings pitched.

His W.H.I.P. is 1.565.

The Phillies are 2-2 in games that he has started, and his own W-L record is 0-1.

Very effective overall, but also quite tedious with 16 walks (none of which were intentional) in only 23 innings pitched.

Can of Corn very gracefully sent me a P.M. because I accidentally put "Pirates" instead of "Phillies" in my post.

Much appreciated.
