    Burnett Opts Out from Braves

    This move shocked me. I felt he would certainly be called up when this due date rolled around.
    All he did at Gwinnett was get people out.

    Six games, 5.1 IP, 3 hits, no runs, one walk, 5 Ks.

    I was wondering why they hadn't called him up, it's not like he wasn't impressive for Gwinnett so why not give him a shot? I guess they rather keep washed up JJ in the bullpen once he comes back and use Krol who I still don't like as the extra lefty.

    Had to get de la Cruz up. His 5.96 era is much more impressive than burnett's numbers

    Agree that it doesn't make sense given Krol's performance.

    Can't figure out why we traded Maybin as it is. Wasn't that expensive and would have been the LF.
