A funny thing happened on Monday night: I wrote the Charlie Morton post and since it was the first post of substantial length I’ve written in months, all of a sudden everyone realized that I hadn’t changed the WHYGAVS Poll over since June. It’s about time to start updating the poll again, particularly because I’m always interested in where the WHYGAVS readership stands on things like trading for AJ Burnett. I was going to make today’s question, “Have the Pirates done enough this off-season?” but since we still have a couple weeks until camp opens, I figured I’d wait until we’re sure they’re done moving for the winter.
So should the Pirates trade for AJ Burnett? Honestly, I’m torn. The stats make it the exact sort of move that people like me love and predict will work out fantastically for the Pirates, and the other things (Burnett’s age, his reported unwillingness to leave New York) are the sorts things that make these sorts of deals end fantastically bad. But what does everyone else think? Poll is in the sidebar (about halfway down the page, right below the Twitter widget … and yes the sidebar is packed with ads, but hey, grad students aren’t exactly made of money) as usual, and you can always sound off in the comments.
