I think AJ has found his place in most Buccos fans' hearts. Yes we know he ain't what he used to be but he supplies the fire for this team and acts as the stopper in the rotation. Even though he had a few bad games, admit it you felt pretty good any game that AJ was on the mound. So here's my question for everyone.

Q: If the Pirates are in contention at the All-Star break and AJ Burnett puts up similar numbers as he did last year, would and should the Pirates trade him?

This question is similar to the debacle we've had with Joel Hanrahan, but Hanny was only the closer, AJ is arguably the ace of the staff...scratch that...is the ace. Are we willing to trade him?
