Did Ricky Horton just say what I thought he said about Burleson?

[Shady]

That Burleson could be a top three hitter in the National League?

[Rojo Johnson]

What an insufferable pile of monkey meat. Just make sure you lock the door.

If he did, I think we have figured out who Shady is.

Burleson is a decent player but he isn't a top three hitter in the NL. He has been one of the top 3 hitters on the Cardinals.

Ricky Horton

I get that criticism of the team will all but ensure unemployment, but is it really so much to ask of the powers above Horton's head to allow for even-handed coverage? IOW, don't find new and inventive ways to insult basic fan intelligence.

That is a remarkable statement….even by cardinals propagandists standards

[Lloyd Braun]

If he's talking about batting avg., which still determines that battling title.... Burleson ranks 9th, 1 pt out of 6th place. And conceivably could be a top 3 hitter in avg, as early as this year even.

Little Ricky is talking about batting avg

He said as a little kid, they listed top 3 BA on a baseball card he got

How Sweet

[ilcubuffs]

Been proved time and again - you cannot fix stupid. Juist letting all of Cardinal nation via air waves how deep and expansive his condition.

[Shady]

Wonder is Horton feels that, if the Cardinals actually shopped Burleson, they could get an up and coming #2 type starting pitcher with quite a few years of control for Burly. Who should be coming into his prime. With the need for offense, I don't feel the Cardinals would even consider it. Though they could sure use quality starting pitch help.

You can add a zero behind that 3 and he still wouldn’t make the cut. I have to believe you heard what you wanted to hear. If not, he should be fired.

I sense a lot of negativities circling the outhouse. How dare Horton have an opinion that deviates so widely from the Nellies.

That's funny and so true.

+1 I’m betting that’s what he’s talking about and he’s not wrong if that’s what he meant he could be in batting average

I took it that's what he meant. But why not go where the outrage leads?

Ricky thrilled the editor in chief no end with that take.
