It would be different if we were in the middle of a penant chase, but getting Burnett only helps us for this year which doesn't make much sense.
Well, if we did do this trade, I'd wait until mid June-July to see where this club sits with the rest of the team in the NL central. If we're out of the race for sure, then I'd probably clean house. We could then trade for either Burnett or Beckett, then sign either one long-term. But, i'd just much rather trade Griffey or Kearns. If Griffey continues to stay healthy and hit like he is, then we could get some real good stuff for him. The Braves have a ton of major league prospects that we could aim for, or even the Marlins could be a suitor.

We'll just have to wait and see how everything pans out.
