Burnett, and crowdsourcing ideas for an All-Star break podcast episode.

Do I need to be talked out of Middlebrooks against a not-good-at-home Wandy Rodriguez?

Stacking he and Barmes could allow you to go big at the other spots.

Sorry for the late reply on this. You wouldn’t be crazy if you went with this. @ Wandy is an alright place to take a flier on power guys.
