According to the Houston Chronicle, the Astros, Devil Rays, Pirates, Diamondbacks and Cubs are interested in free agent OF Jeromy Burnitz.
Great, the Cubs could really use another player to strikeout 120-150 times a season.

Although i would play burnitz over hollandsworth.
HA! I knew you were going to say that … if you hadn’t already posted, I was going to ask ~
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! Please not Burnitz! Please! I’m tired of these subpar veterans. Jeromy Burnitz is so predictable. You know exactly what you’re getting. A boat-load of strikeouts, some homeruns, and another freighter full of strikeouts.
I shoulda linked burnitz’s name in the post to his stats. So here you go: http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/burnije01.shtml let us compare some stats: YR HR SO BB AVG 97 27 111 75 .281 98 38 158 70 .263 99 33 124 91 .270 00 31 121 99 .232 01 34 150 80 .251 02 19 135 58 .215 03 31 112 35 .274 04 37 124 58 .283 Watch out the 37 homeruns last year was him in Colorado. He’s gonna be 36 this year. What happened in 99 and 200 when he almost got 100 walks. That sounds nice. He made just 1.25 million in 2004, but 12.1 million in 2003. wow.
