Burnett for Travis Hafner + salary relief. I view Hafner as a vital part of the Indians offense in 2012. The middle of the order bat that if he can get to the plate with more opportunity with runners on-base will have better dummy stats. Good news...Hafner's 2011 injuries were not caused by the shoulder flaring up! Would Burnett of been a better choice for the Indians prior to adding 5 mil for Derek Lowe? Aren't the Pirates just trying to do the Derek Lowe trade on the scope of 2 years rather than the Indians 1 year? I can see 2 non-roster minor leaguers going to N.Y. with Burnett going to Pitt and at most 11 mil being paid by Pitt. Question for you: A.J. Burnett Jeff Niemann Wade Davis Wandy Rodriguez Brett Meyers Which guy would you target? How much salary would you take on (Burnett/Meyers/Rodriguez) and what prospects would you give up? No to A.J. Burnett for Travis Hafner + salary relief.
