December 5, 200520 yr :mad No first rounder. Yep I rather him go to the Cards and we get 2 first round picks. I believe if he goes to the Blue Jays we get 1 first and a 3rd cause the second round pick goes to the Orioles.
December 5, 200520 yr Seems this may be premature, looks like they're going back to the Cardinals for one last try: ESPN's Peter Gammons says A.J. Burnett will likely go to the Blue Jays for five years and $55 million. Reportedly, Burnett's agent wants to talk with the Cardinals one more time. C/O Rotoworld.
December 5, 200520 yr i'll give him credit for waiting until after he has signed his contract to run his mouth about his time here.
December 5, 200520 yr It'll be a nice Christmas for the Burnett family. The money will sure as hell be nice, but realizing they have to move to Toronto will put a small damper on everything.
December 5, 200520 yr Per Boston Gammons on ESPNEWS just now. Good, keep him out of the NL Central. Keep him out of the NL? More like: GOOD... keep him out of the country. It'll be a nice Christmas for the Burnett family. The money will sure as hell be nice, but realizing they have to move to Toronto will put a small damper on everything. Toronto is a big city no different than New York, LA, Boston, Detroit, etc. and he's getting paid $55 million dollars to do it.... there won't be any damper hanging over the Burnett family.
December 5, 200520 yr Yeah, Toronto is actually quite a nice place. It's not like he's moving to Detroit.
December 6, 200520 yr It may not be over yet.. Errrr. KFNS (AM 590 STL) says that the Cardinals brass is having a meeting right now in Dallas at the hotel and that some Toronto station talked to a team official and he said "Dont expect an announcement anytime tonight" .. But of course they'll say that.. Peter Gammons is saying we may not know anything for ANOTHER 24 HOURS and he said the Cards offered 4 years, 48 mil? That cant be right.... Just wish it would end..

He's moving to Canada. Enough said.
December 6, 200520 yr Well we get atleast a first round pick so its not to bad. I would like it if he went to Toronto so they could give the yankees and redsox problems
December 6, 200520 yr Well we get atleast a first round pick so its not to bad. Not if he goes to Toronto.
December 6, 200520 yr Well we get atleast a first round pick so its not to bad. Not if he goes to Toronto. Why does it matter where he goes?
December 6, 200520 yr Well we get atleast a first round pick so its not to bad. Not if he goes to Toronto. Why does it matter where he goes? If the team's pick projects in the top 15, it's a protected pick meaning we get their second round pick and a upplemental. Also, with Toronto already having signed BJ Ryan, Baltimore lost a (I believe) higher ranking type-a free agent, meaning they get the second rounder leaving us with a third rounder. So, we really don't want him going to Toronto.
December 6, 200520 yr Why would sane individual move to Canada? To be fair to him, I'd go to Darfur if they were offering me 50 million dollars. I wouldn't choose it over St. Louis though.
December 6, 200520 yr The longer this goes unannounced, the better you have to like the Cardinals' chances...
