I had both of them and choose to dump Burns and take the risk on Buff keeping his defense status. I just figured Buff had a better chance at sticking at defense than Burns did.
But I'm one of the few guys who will be luck enough to not have to worry too much about it. I play in a league format that rewards his multi-cat skills to the point where he was the 25th best player in our league, so even if he loses his D status, I'll have a stud on RW.
