Mike Burns, RHP, was put on waivers and taken by the Mets yesterday.Of course, we got nothing for him, just as with Todd Self last August.I guess the Organization believes that these guys are SO worthless they aren't even worth anything in a trade.We replica Gucci YA109523 watch have lost a whole lot of guys by waivers, Rule V without getting a thing back.Remember Scott Linebrink? DJ Houlton? Johan Santana? Bobby Abreu? To name a few?I know that Mike Burns had a GREAT record in A and a not so great record in the majors, but the same is true for Zeke Astacio.
And Zeke Astacio looks to me like Eric Milton, only not as good translation trade bait for a decent bat (and hasn't nobody yet come up with a bat for us yet.And Dayn Perry, by the way, has Jeromy Burnitz at 5 on his list of no good free agents…)All I can replica Gucci YA110506 Ladie's watch say is I'm not gonna be real too happy if Burns and Self become good players for the Mets.Yeah, I know, they 26 years old and if a guy ain't like Pujols or something by the time he 25, he's worthless.Like, say, Morgan Ensberg.
Or, say, Randy Johnson.The one thing I REALLY hate about stats and all the prediction formulas is that the inventors writers stereotype guys so tightly that they WON'T allow for any out of stereotype variation.To me, this is like giving an IQ test to a 5 year old and refusing to ever re-evaluate her potential or ability for the remainder of replica Gucci 21970 Ladie's watch her life.Or, back in baseball terms, why too many people believe that no guy under 6 tall can be a good ML starter they REALLY believe it.Or why they insist that a low strikeout pitcher can NOT be a ML pitcher.Or why they like “projectable” body types.
