Timing, location, and money.

It is a nice thought but there is no way we could pull it off. Porcello is untouchible, Joyce is playing with the club, Tata is on and off injuries, what prospects do we have left? Iorg and Holliman? While they are good the Jays aren't just blowing up to rebuild, they just underperformed and they wont let pitchers go for peanuts. And while Detroits farm is better than people thought after the Cabrera/Willis and Renteria trades we would end up even worse off losing the rest for a guy that is never happy or a part of a team everywhere he goes...

Not gonna happen... I would put more rumor to truth on this one...

Tigers need more pitching, but this is not the guy. The most wins he has ever won in a year? 12... Lifetime he is barely above .500. I think they need a consistent 5 starter, but this is not an improvement over Nate Robertson...

Get Bedard or Maddux, not this guy. Let the Yankees pay too much for him.

bi- they wont' trade the guy within their division. And I think they have seen him enough to know to avoid him. The man has more issues than National Geographic...

Pull the trigger....

Well, Since Donterlle is back in the minors maybe they would consider him a prospect? We'll trade him...

I don't think Burnett is going anywhere. His option issue is too big a risk for anyone to give up any serious prospects.

They do need pitching pretty bad, but this is not the guy to go for. Bedard maybe, but not Burnett. And by the way, the Tigers aren't .500 anymore. They are the hottest team in baseball over the last 40 games, get your facts right.

I could care less about Burnett, but I would like to see the Jays revert back to the older unis for good.

If AJ signs with another team in the off season, that team has to give the Jays two first round picks. The Jay's obviously can't let him go for less than that. I don't know why a team would make a trade for him - he's injury prone and a career .500 pitcher. I'm praying each night that someone will take him becasue I'd love to ditch that contract... Maybe they'll take JP with him as a throw in.

Also - the powder blues are money!!!!

This team signed Dontrelle Willis to a huge deal even though he's been awful. Burnett's career high in wins is 12 and amazingly he'll beat that this year. What a surprise. Please take him, Detroit. Thanks.

They have spent enough money.. they need to coach who they have now.

Whatever it takes to get Todd Jones off this team. His ERA is over 5. Yeah, that's the closer I want in the 9th with a 1 run lead. Batting practice is all Jones can throw. If this guy can help in any capacity, let's go for it.

After their failed attempts to secure the pennant better to lay back and not do anything foolish - as before !!!
Sincerely, Dontrelle Willis

Manny Ramirez will sign with the Yankees in the off season if the sox don't pick up his option

I've never figured out why Burnett doesn't win more.... he's got class A stuff.... I know he's been hurt some..... I don't think the Tigers pick him up, though, after the Willis debaucle.
