First Winn and now Burly?

Do the Cards have incriminating pictures of some one? If the Cards win the division I don't think either is deserving of their award. This is even stranger...

I'm not sure why there is a need for a Utility Silver Slugger but that is how Burleson won. Just have the guys in the position categories that they played the most pretty simple. I can kind of see it for Gold Glove, but find no reasoning for it on Silver Slugger.

It's a shame that so many posters dissed Burleson when he came up.

Agreed! He's a keeper and plays multiple positions...what's not to like!

Well deserved. If we move Contreras and if Hererra's arm surgery allows him to catch then Burleson probably lands at 1B.

There were some who actually believed that he was not any good, but a lot of them were just trying to get at Shady!

18 HR, 69 RBI for a 1B/LF/DH Silver Slugger. The bar is now so low one could crawl over it.

Pitchers used to get one.

As of today he might be the starting LF or RF
With the bat he ranks well there

And yet he was once again one of the better hitters for the Cards...don;t care where he plays, he produces, and that is more than most on this team.

Yes the bar is low, yes the award is weird. But so was giving a pitcher a silver slugger award, but we did that too. The award does exist and Burly deserved do win it.
