If Burleson has peaked like some are claiming

[scoutyjones2]

Maybe that's not really that bad at all. Burly's gonna get better yet. IMHO

If Shady would stop posting, like he's often touted...we'd be a much better forum

[CorneliusWolfe]

He’ll be lucky to match last year’s numbers. Nice game tonight but sorry if I don’t see that MVP trajectory you’re thumping your chest over.

Now go get some tissue and clean yourself up.

And why not? This guy is the best hitter on the team and people have him on blast everyday. Guy can't hit, then when he has the best average on the team it becomes he doesn't get extra base hits. Then it's, he can't play defense, even though he's more than adequate in the OF for a guy playing out of position. People just don't want to admit they were, and are, wrong about him. Where would this team be without him?

They'd be about 1-2 games worse, since he's only been worth 1.5 WAR this year.

You don't really believe that do you? His replacement would have been Siani, Vilade, or Hampson.

Siani was worth 0.7 WAR last year. Donovan would have played a lot more OF too. So Walker, Herrera, Gorman and Saggese also would have gotten more ABs at OF/DH/IF.

It probably would be about the same or maybe even better if Gorman/Saggese/Walker get traction sooner with more ABs.

He is a good complimentary player, not a building block.

If the stars were ever perfectly aligned for a thread it’s this one!

Kind of like the old Saturday Night Live segment Daily Affirmation. This one is a once in a lifetime affirmation!

Speaking of silly. How silly are you looking right now? Man up.

Put me on your foe list, please. I took you off mine, and it has not worked out for you.

At only 26. I'm not too sure that Burleson is not a "building block" for the Cardinals' reset. And he's cheap enough, for a while, that they can use the extra money saved to find another "building block" type as a FA.

+1...The once proud franchise needs to be happy with their 4th place team beating a 5th place team...only a few front office bootlickers will celebrate!
