Welcome Back Burke
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...
