Could Burly win Wimbledon?

[Son of Shady]

With that sweet swing of his and the torque generated from his calves it seems reasonable. He’d at least be a top contender. Thoughts?

Real funny Bucko. He’d eat you for breakfast. Let’s keep it about baseball.

OK, this has become completely ridiculous. As great an athlete as Burleson is he of course has excellent "racket to ball" skills. But he lacks the dexterity to cover the fast Wimbledon grass surface, and I don't see his serve and volley game being the most deft. However if you put him on the slower clay surface at Roland Garros he could cover the baseline much easier and possibly win a French or two, especially with Nadal retired.

Well thought out post. But you seem to underestimate Burly’s overall athleticism. What do you think Oli would say about your “analysis”?

Clearly the guy you want out there in the fifth set, match on the line, against a stout right-handed server with a wicked slice . . .

Great post and insight on hard serving right-hander. A few pumps of those calves and nothing getting by.

Wally's friend the Red Sox scout says Burly would be a "return machine" . . .

He's like a "prime-Federer."

NY - Why feed one of the worst trolls we've ever had on here? You, of all people, should know better.

Maybe some posters are actually interested in deeper baseball discussion than you are used to, Cranberry. Stick to OP Bucko.

I will spill accolades, platitudes, and banalities as I see fit, thank you very much!

Unless you have the same lawyers and tough guys as your father does at your disposal.

Great point. Dad didn’t even pay child support. Much less grant access to those type resources.

Sorry this is OT but When you have time could you please tell me how you think Burly would do at synchronized swimming. Thanks.
