Happy Carlos Quentin Horrible Trade Anniversary! Yes, December 3rd marks one year since the D-Backs traded Quentin to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Chris Carter. That one didn’t work out too well. Luckily the Dan Haren deal did. In fact, what a difference one year makes for the D-Backs. Last December Arizona added Haren to their roster to make a run at a World Series title. This December the Diamondbacks subtract Adam Dunn from theirs out of fear that they may have to pick up a $15 million tag.

So, now that Adam Dunn is officially done in Arizona, can we officially say the Dunn deal was a disaster? Burnsy can- in fact he is. After all, who would have signed on to trading Micah Owings to Cincinnati had the prospect of adding two high draft prospects not been there. This is a further indication that the Diamondbacks are not going to be too active this winter. But then again, in the NL West, who really is? Burnsy says the onus will really be on the Chris Youngs, Mark Reynolds, and Justin Uptons to step up this year. If they don’t, the D-Backs will certainly fall short once again. After all, they certainly aren’t getting any help this off-season. (With all due respect, Ramon Vasquez)

Tom Chambers joined Burnsy on “Talk to the Suns” to discuss the Suns daily soup opera. Although he doesn’t feel Amare is correct in questioning Terry Porter’s system, Chambers isn’t too surprised since veterans like Steve Nash and Raja Bell already had. All in all, though, Chambers still believes this Suns team has more talent than last year’s and can still put it all together. That’s if they don’t all break apart before Christmas.
