Would you trade Burleson for Alcantara and Gallen?

[ScotchMIrish]

Obviously a hypothetical since Alcantara and Gallen don't play for the same team. Not defending the Ozuna trade but Burleson is who we got with the compensation pick. Burleson is hitting .289 with .779 OPS.

Gallen in his walk year has an era over 5 albeit in a hitter's ballpark. Alcantara coming off surgery was improving until most recent start.

It was a terrible trade at the time. Alcantara won the Cy Young. Gallen was AZ's ace for the team that won the NL. But now it's a legitimate question. Would you trade Burleson for Alcantara and Gallen? At this stage the deal doesn't look so bad.

Have you ever seen Burly play?

I don't watch games. I listen on the radio sometimes. Did you ever see Stan Musial play? If not can you form an opinion based upon his stats?

[Adam2]

right now no. they wouldn't re-sign Gallen. Does it make you better for the remainder of this season? yes

[Jobu's Rum]

No. Gallen is bad this year and a Free Agent. His ERA/WHIP has gone up for 3 years now

I'm not risking it with Alcantara...so no

You are brighter than I thought. LOL

Well, maybe not on the being bright.

As was was saying. Bright people aren't goofballs. They don't need to be. When one is lacking smarts they resort to your type tactics.

There you go. Another confirmation of your intellectual capacity. Or maybe it's more your maturity level. Something's lacking.

Haha Scouts you're a funny guy

[smilinjoefission]

Both seem like they're done, especially Alcantra...we NEVER should have traded either of them.
