Welcome Back Burke

Found April 21, 2009 on It Might Be Dangerous:
PLAYERS: Chris Burke,  David Eckstein
TEAMS: San Diego Padres,  Seattle Mariners

Mlb_may_14_b79c
Today we re-acquired INF Chris Burke from the Seattle Mariners for cash considerations.When we signed Chris over the winter, we thought he had a legitimate chance to contribute to the big league club, especially because we believed that he had been better than his numbers indicated in 2007 and 2008. Chris then came to camp and had a solid spring training, but we had signed David Eckstein in the interim and Everth Cabrera showed us what he was all about. Feeling that Chris might have a better opportunity elsewhere, we allowed him to pursue a chance to join the Mariners rather than staying on with us in AAA. With Cabrera missing the next two months, Chris is back and will now assume a role closer to what we originally intended.
