Not sure about that. You offer Pittsburgh Cammy instead of Stempniak for a 3rd and they take Cammy for sure.
It is mostly about perception.
Berra for a second rounder...great, Stempniak for a 3rd...seems fair.
Cammy for a 3rd when you were originally asking for a 1st + mid-prospect...makes you look weak and like you caved.
I am guessing that had Burke been offered a first he would have taken it instantly, an offer of a 2nd + a prospect probably gets it done, but settling for just a 2nd makes you look weak in future negotiations so he didn't make the deal.
Just my 2 cents.
