A.J. Burnett

Which is exactly my point and what I said.

I don't remember disagreeing with you if that is what you said.

The one saving grace in this trade might be the fact that their GM is an idiot.

Yeap he'll probably hold out for 2-3 C level prospects.

I think it will probably be two B- or B type guys. I could see Davies and Keller being what they ask for.

I think Burnett would get tattooed in the AL.

We went over this last winter... Burnett's best years were when pitching in the AL East and he had great numbers at all the ballparks. He has also developed into a terrific ground ball pitcher (thanks to Pittsburgh coaching) which plays horribly in the Phillies' infield but would be a great fit in the Orioles' infield.

I have slight concerns about Burnett but playing in this division with this defense isn't one of them.

If we are not trading for a TOR starter, we are better trading for no starter at all, unless they will take Ubaldo.

I could see them sending us Burnett and someone like Hamels, eating a bunch of money, and taking on Ubaldo's contract, in exchange for bundy and others.

Weren't his worst years also in the AL East?

I was a strong advocate of his this off-season. Then the O's signed Ubaldo which eliminated the need for Burnett.

I thought he picked PHI, then we took Ubaldo.

Right.

What I meant was the presence of Ubaldo precludes the O's adding Burnett. No room for him.

I think he is already sufficiently tattooed, not much room left.

I can't. I can see Matt Hobgood and Mychal Givens going though. For Burnett.

Givens still might pan out, can we send then a different second round bust instead? Maybe Esposito?

I wasn't saying I could see the O's doing that. But I could see that being the circumstances under which Philly would take Ubaldo's contract.

And why would Philly take those players for Burnett? Those aren't even C level prospects.

They don't need Burnett. They don't need to spend the money or have the roster clogged. Think Jim Thome trade.
