50/50 and put in a top 5 prospect and a top 15 prospect. Otherwise make the yanks pay for buying any player they want and overpaying for them.

Thanks for the research and it does seem to be a good sign, especially if we do not have to give anything. Morton may be slow to come along early this year, and Correia who we paid $8 mil over 2 years will become a FA. Burnett could end up staying both years. The only doubt I have is the attitude he will bring with him. If he wants to be a SP the Pirates are offering the opp, and the burgh is only about 4 or 5 hours from B’more. If the Bucs have to go $12 mil ($6 per year) without having to give away GJ or anybody else, this is still a great deal for the Pirates.

Not sure I do not sure what Nady looks like now but he looked almost cripple last time i watched him. Evans is only 25. He has some decent potential. Jake Fox can hit but cant play anywhere. Id be more excited if he could catch a lil still.

Tell us the truth James S……..Nady owes you money but he can’t pay you because he lost his fortune to Bernie Madoff, so you are out there pimping him so he can pay you back. Right?

If the Pirates have to give up anything of substance for Burnett it’s a bad trade by Huntington.

I can see us getting Burnett and him being dealt before the all star break this year.

I agree if Nick Evans or Fox make the 25 man roster (unless because others are injured) the bench will be weak again this season.

I’d love to see Nady on our bench. Better than Nick Evans or Jake Fox.

Just like I said, They aren’t getting Garrett Jones. They simply cannot let go of their most legit power guy.
That makes me happy.

Great if we can get A.J. Burnett and keep Jones.
Maybe they can give them Correia, pick up 8 million, give Burnett’s wife so many limo rides, and not even give them a semi-prospect.
That would be win-win all the way around.
I doubt it will happen that way, and if we give up a semi-prospect I won’t mind too much.

I’m excited with a starting staff of Burnett, Karstens, Bedard, Morton & McDonald.

They still need better hitting though. A professional hit-man like Xavier Nady on the bench would not break their bank.

I see a pattern here…
