That's not a good comparison because the players are TOTALLY dissimilar. Burns is a leadoff man who plays minus defense; Taylor is a bottom-of-the-order power guy who plays plus defense. ONE DAY he may be a leadoff guy that strikes out a lot a la Gomez but Burns is a terrible comparison.
Different players, but Burns is a CF we had in system recently who is having a good season. I have a feeling there are posters on OAFF.net crowing about Beane working over Rizzo on this one.
