Mr. Showtime Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I post this in a new thread because I emailed Ken to ask what was going on and he said to be on the look out for a new posting so here it is.. Ken To obtain Burnett, the Orioles would: # Part with Penn, outfielder Larry Bigbie, righthanded setup man Jorge Julio and possibly lefty reliever Steve Kline. # Take on the contract of Marlins third baseman Mike Lowell, who has been slumping for more than a year and is referred to by one major-league executive as "Sammy Sosa's twin." # Likely sign Burnett to a four- or five-year contract extension with an average salary of $8 million to $10 million, an enormous risk for a pitcher who has never made 30 starts in a season and been on the disabled list four times in his career.

Balta1701 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Please note...those last 2 points would also apply to anyone who tried to sign/trade for Burnett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
