Do the Cardinals have something special in Burleson?
Good to see the power picking up. What I really like is his improved pitch recognition and plate discipline. Burleson is a professional hitter. And he's only 26.

Well if you have low definition of special and consider special a 20 home run 70-80 RBI platoon guy then yes I guess

20/80 would in fact be a pretty hood platoon guy. Who knows, maybe he turns in to a Schwarber type player.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑28 Jul 2025 19:48 pm Well if you have low definition of special and consider special a 20 home run 70-80 RBI platoon guy then yes I guess

Do we need 10 threads for every homerun?

Re: Do the Cardinals have something special in Burleson?
Sorry my idea of a special player is more than a 20 hr 80 rbi platoon guy lol. A good player yes but special? Far from it he doesn’t have anywhere close to the power or walk percentage of schwarberRamFan08NY wrote: ↑28 Jul 2025 19:55 pm20/80 would in fact be a pretty hood platoon guy.

It seems like Burleson is your favorite player. Do you by chance have a son named Alec who is 26 and plays for the Cardinals?

Re: Do the Cardinals have something special in Burleson?
I’ve already given my detailed evaluation of Burleson in the other numerous threads.
So I’ll just say....here’s some attention!

Re: Do the Cardinals have something special in Burleson?
My point was, how many platoon players (as you called him) hits for 20 / 80? Thats a pretty good season for an every day player.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑28 Jul 2025 19:57 pmSorry my idea of a special player is more than a 20 hr 80 rbi platoon guy lol.

Re: Do the Cardinals have something special in Burleson?
He will never be more than a 2.0 WAR player
His defense and base-running are poor - sadly he is a bad bodied player with only one tool
He would need to be 300/400/500 to be special
He ain’t that
