Mythbusting the Alex Burrows trade

Yesterday I argued that I have a hard time seeing any benefit of this trade. I’ve seen a few attempts at explaining the logic behind it. I have a hard time following any of those trains of thought. So here are my thoughts about some of the most common explanations of this trade:

  • The Senators got worse in the future to get better in the present. I fail to see how Alexandre Burrows makes the team better in the present. He seems like an older version of Tom Pyatt to me.
