Should Burleson pitch?
The downside is he doesn’t strike out a lot. But that walk rate is on the low side too, so maybe?

He could be as good as Mickey Lolich with just a little practice. Same build.

Pretty sure he could throw with either hand, thus being ambidextrous with either hand and could be the last 30 game winner in MLB>ecleme22 wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 19:40 pmEh, he’s more like McLain.MIDMOBIRDTWO wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 19:31 pm He could be as good as Mickey Lolich with just a little practice.

Burleson shoulder Moderate.
Craviduce should pitch. He's a jerk.

I cant believe the Mo & Marmol twins haven't explored the idea of making Winn and Burleson the Cardinals version of Ohtani.

I know this ain’t the rules, but Burly could probably throw a ball in each hand simultaneously and hit 85mph on each ball.MIDMOBIRDTWO wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 19:51 pmPretty sure he could throw with either hand, thus being ambidextrous with either hand and could be the last 30 game winner in MLB>ecleme22 wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 19:40 pmEh, he’s more like McLain.MIDMOBIRDTWO wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 19:31 pm He could be as good as Mickey Lolich with just a little practice.

In one of Shady's hissy fits he created a call-out thread, which is a no-no. But our reprieve was temporary as he revived his Pura Vida sock account.

Pura Vida is a sock? I don’t disbelieve you, Mort, I guess I hadn’t paid enough attention.Mort Gage wrote: ↑31 Aug 2025 15:56 pmIn one of Shady's hissy fits he created a call-out thread, which is a no-no. But our reprieve was temporary as he revived his Pura Vida sock account.
