As I said yesterday, I'd love to see the Mets go after Burrell. He makes sense on a lot of levels, even if you throw out the monster walk year he's having. |
I know he hasnt hit a ton there this year, but Burrell is a product of that Philly lineup and that ballpark. He's a lifetime .250 hitter, has only driven in 100+ twice, and strikes out 150 times a year. He's a terrible defensive player and he's 32. I know he's having a great year this year (and had a solid one last year) hitting with Rollins, Utley, and Howard in front of him, but IMO you put him on the Mets and he goes right back to being the .250, unclutch, boo magnet he had been in Philly most of his career.
