He had 397 PAs there last year, so I wouldn’t say he won’t…

They had a right handed hitter leading off the bulk of the time last year and followed with a lefty. This year they have Noot leading off and will follow with a righty when Winn or Herrera get back.Futuregm2 wrote: ↑06 May 2025 09:49 amHe had 397 PAs there last year, so I wouldn’t say he won’t…
He’s a classic number six hitter- 15 hr power, few doubles, lots of balls in play, K’s a bit slow.rockondlouie wrote: ↑06 May 2025 11:18 amThat would be par for the course from Oli and so, so wrong.
He's a bench player, at best a platoon DH or 1st baseman on a team that needs one (we don't).sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑06 May 2025 11:26 amHe’s a classic number six hitter- 15 hr power, few doubles, lots of balls in play, K’s a bit slow.rockondlouie wrote: ↑06 May 2025 11:18 amThat would be par for the course from Oli and so, so wrong.
He is a bust too, just treading water till he is replaced by a better option.vegascardsfan5890 wrote: ↑06 May 2025 11:26 am Burleson is my favorite player on the team and a guy I will root for even if he isn't a Cardinal.
I have an Alec Burleson rookie card and last year when I went to San Diego for the padres series he signed it, which was very nice of him.
I am also partial to Alec because I too am built like him. Not all of us are the athletically built type.
I hope and pray he makes all of you doubters stop talking about it. I will always have his back.
He's one of the leaders on the team and a tremendously better player than Walker or Gorman and should be playing over those busts anyways
I dont disagree. I was thinking about where he hits in our lineup. Six fits.rockondlouie wrote: ↑06 May 2025 11:32 amHe's a bench player, at best a platoon DH or 1st baseman on a team that needs one (we don't).sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑06 May 2025 11:26 amHe’s a classic number six hitter- 15 hr power, few doubles, lots of balls in play, K’s a bit slow.rockondlouie wrote: ↑06 May 2025 11:18 amThat would be par for the course from Oli and so, so wrong.
Once Hererra returns, Burleson becomes expendable since Ivan should be the (near) fulltime DH.
I'd be trying to pawn him off on the BoSox.
If they don't bite, then toss him in to close a deal when Helsey or Fedde or Matz or Mikolas if he waives the NTC are dealt.
This needs to be bumbles final season in St. Louis, I hope Bloom moves on from him.
Finally an unbiased opinion on the subject.vegascardsfan5890 wrote: ↑06 May 2025 11:26 am Burleson is my favorite player on the team and a guy I will root for even if he isn't a Cardinal.

1. What evidence do you have which indicates he's a team leader?vegascardsfan5890 wrote: ↑06 May 2025 11:26 am Burleson is my favorite player on the team and a guy I will root for even if he isn't a Cardinal.

guy, you sit and watch while he's horrendous for close to a calendar year. he has a couple good games, and yes i'm excited if it continues. But what are you doing? you yourself questioned your strange commitment to him before he hit 2 HR, and you are back on the horse pushing the Burly agenda. Accept you overrated him drastically.
