Burnett told to leave the Marlins

[CubfaninCA]

Only question I have is which AL East team overpays him??

 

Apparently, Minnesota may put Radke on the market. Wouldn't mind picking him up for a year.

Maybe if we were able to dump Maddux, but Radke's only a slight upgrade. I prefer Williams to Radke.

Using Pitching Runs (link), Burnett finds himself at the bottom of the 50 best SP, just in front of such studs as Noah Lowry and Kyle Lohse. He won't be worth the contract he'll get. If you're going to spend for a starter, go after Millwood, he'll probably be cheaper, although he is a Boras client.

I'm not a fan of Millwood. Sure, he did good for the Indians this year but what about last year when he pitched for the Phillies? He might be more of a risk than Burnett.

I just like Burnett better. He's the type of pitcher I would like to have that is all.

 

2002: 1.15 WHIP, .230 BAA, .627 OPS

2003: 1.25 WHIP, .250 BAA, .691 OPS

2004: 1.46 WHIP, .278 BAA, .774 OPS

2005: 1.24 WHIP, .250 BAA, .696 OPS

 

K/9 and K/BB stay basically constant all 4 years. Methinks that 2004 is more of an aberration than 2005.

Possibly. His numbers are weird. He goes from a 4era to a mid 2era back to 4 back to 3 and so on. Very inconsistent. Last years ERA was his highest. I dont know what to make of it.

 

Burnett

 

You hate* Millwood for his inconsistency, but want Burnett? That seems odd to me. I'd call Burnett inconsistent before Millwood. Remember, Millwood was also affected by the opening of Philly's new park.

 

Sorry, I shouldn't have said hate, it was more like distaste.
