A close friend of BG's has an in-depth analysis of the Marlins demands for an AJ Burnett trade on ESPN.com's Page 2.

And in other Page 2 news, Jim Caple had a terrific piece yesterday on old skool bats which included this fascinating tidbit:

Bret Boone has been known to keep more than 120 bats by his lockers, dividing them into hot and cold piles. Boone's bats are all generally the same model but he's convinced some feel good and some don't, and even the ones that feel good today might not feel good tomorrow. That's why he has Louisville Slugger on speed dial, frequently calling the company in the middle of the night for another order.
