Garcia v. Burnett

With yesterday being an off day I figured I would talk about something a little bit different. 
There have been reports that the Yankees are one of the many teams looking into the currently rehabbing Freddy Garcia. Now despite a high ERA last year, he has shown flashes of brilliance in the past. '05 was arguably his best season. He pitched 2 CG and struck out 146 in 228.0 innings pitched.. He seems to be one of those guys who has the chance to be a solid 3-4 guy. 
There have also been reports of the Yankees looking into Burnett. Don't let his ERA this year fool you... he is almost 2 ER up from last year. He absolutely has the stuff,  he's struck out 111 in 113 and a third innings this year. His walk numbers could definitely use some work 53 this year.. He could easily become a 2 guy for us.. maybe even a one.. I see him as definitely worth going for.. he would absolutely solidify our rotation and I feel that he has just had bad luck this year. He is most definitely a sub 4 if not a mid 3 ERA guy... 
Your thoughts?
