Burke is obviously not some untouchable asset, but he IS on a value contract, and while he hasn't had the season I hoped he would, he really only needs 4-5 great games to hold up his end. He has certainly not been consistent this year (bummer), but he has been a bright spot at times and brings things to the table that nobody else on this roster can. He's paid like someone not meant to be in the rotation, but to be ready when needed, and he has basically done that this season. I would be excited about that deal again if we could go back in time, knowing what we know now.
Just want to clear more roster spots and I would prefer to keep the younger guys. I don´t think Burke is doing anything that a random vet min signing couldn´t do (Yogi Ferrell).
