He said he wants to come here. Do you like him? If we make any moves, I want a starting pitcher. I don’t know if Burnett is the answer. His last outing was great, but still has an ERA over 5.00

I'm not all that great at evaluating trades.

But we need a starting pitcher, and I’m not willing to pay the price that they want for Sabathia. I honestly like the idea of Maddux coming back, I think that would be awesome. Burnett or Hardin probably after that.
