Yep. Good stuff. I read that NY was on and Baltimore was off somewhere. I would love to hear where else he won't go.

21 teams are supposedly on it, which means, he can get traded to 8 teams.

Without his consent. It isn't uncommon for players to waive their no trade protection for one reason or another.

True, still puzzled on why AJ went to Philly and not Birdland land, since he is from Maryland and wants to be close.

He likes to do well and the NL is easier for pitchers.

He enjoys life on the road?

Could be taxes. Only reason I say that is since it is obvious he is only playing for the money at this point.

His off-season home is in Maryland.

How in the world did this turn into a Burnett thread?

As to Jim Johnson, I would have some interest in having him in the organization in 2015. But not now. His confidence is shot and whatever his problem is, it probably won't be fixed in the middle of a season.

I guess folks are tired of talking about Johnson.

I read that Scott Proefrock the Phillies assistant GM is his next door neighbor in Monkton and that they developed a friendship. Plus AJ wants no part of the AL. And yelling at your manager like he did more than once at Clint Hurdle would not go over so well with the BuckMaster.

But people are still starting threads about this jerk. Let her go, she doesn't like you.

Maybe he likes to be close enough to home so an occasional visit is easy, but not 20 minutes away where he would be expected to stay there all the time.

Almost looks like she has tatted on underarm hair.

Apparently see has a good left hook as well.
