Evidently,, Burleson had a chance to win the award as a utility player.

Yeah, below is quoted from Goold's article:

To qualify for the utility Silver Slugger honor a batter must appear in at least 100 games and play more than 20 at two or more positions. (Outfield positions are considered together as one, so 21 in right and 34 in left would be 75 in the outfield, not two separate positions.)

Burleson has hit .293 with a .345 on-base percentage and a .464 slugging percentage for a .810 OPS. His OPS+, which normalizes those rates and compares against a league average of 100, is 127, or 27% better than an average peer. One of the utility players closest to Burleson’s production is teammate Brendan Donovan (.775 OPS, 119 OPS+) but he’s two games in the outfield shy of qualifying with three games remaining.

Are you seriously that clueless about the OPs posting history and inability to not seek attention by posting idiotic threads?

If I were as aggravated by the OP's posts as some on here, I just wouldn't enter the thread. Why do you condone their lunacy?
