Cubs Standing Pat, Tigers & Braves Rumors

-The Boston Globe reports that the Cardinals have the best shot to acquire AJ Burnett if he's traded.
-The Cubs are very happy with standing pat, according to the Chicago Tribune. GM Jim Hendry believes that Alfonso Soriano will begin to swing a hot bat and be as good an acquisition as they can get.
-MLB.com reports that the Tigers had a scout watching the Giants' Jack Taschner. The Brewers, Mets, and Phillies are also interested.
-MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports that the Braves appear to still be buyers and will be hesitant to deal Mark Teixeira (Arizona?) or Ron Mahay.
-Jarrod Washburn will apparently make his start with the Mariners today, meaning that a trade hasn't been made.
-The Rockies may call up Jeff Francis for tomorrow's start.
