Disgusting, isn’t it? A grown man inventing socks to agree with his posts. What an old puke.

Should be traded in offseason for pitching
Complimentary piece not a centerpiece core

If you can trade Burly for a MLB starter with upside you will be named GM of the century.rage-STL wrote: ↑23 Aug 2025 12:07 pmTrading Burly feels like a case of having to give to get.

He is hitting .285.
He has 15 HR.
His WAR is 1.5.
He is a bargain at the price.
He is the one positive offensive player on this entire team, and you guys wanna trade him.
Insane.

What exactly is he capable of? And don't "Melville me" with garble - give me the stats you predict he'd have in such a year.Shady wrote: ↑23 Aug 2025 16:17 pmOr you could get fired after Burleson hits like he's capable of for the next three or four years and the pitcher fades or is just so so.ClassicO wrote: ↑23 Aug 2025 14:49 pmIf you can trade Burly for a MLB starter with upside you will be named GM of the century.rage-STL wrote: ↑23 Aug 2025 12:07 pmTrading Burly feels like a case of having to give to get.

And where would he play? Please don't say outfield as he sucks donkeys there.
He has a 1.4b WAR this year - his best by far - and a lifetime 1.9 bWAR.

Well cause his defense sucks.

Or the pitcher acquired does well and establishes himself as a fixture of the rotation while Burly goes off and does well playing everyday at 1B or DH for a team needing a LH bat. A good old fashioned baseball trade that helps both teams.Shady wrote: ↑23 Aug 2025 16:17 pmOr you could get fired after Burleson hits like he's capable of for the next three or four years and the pitcher fades or is just so so.ClassicO wrote: ↑23 Aug 2025 14:49 pmIf you can trade Burly for a MLB starter with upside you will be named GM of the century.rage-STL wrote: ↑23 Aug 2025 12:07 pmTrading Burly feels like a case of having to give to get.

Nice quote for critics to consider, "Alec Burleson has transformed his approach to become a top-30 hitter in the National League based on his WRC+, which checks in at 120, meaning his offense is 20% better than average".
Re: High praise for Burleson's progress

When you're 20% above average as a hitter, but 60% below average as a defender and runner, you are not a very good baseball player.
I noticed you chickened out on answering my previous question. If you firmly believe he'll improve a lot, predict Burleson's stats in the future.
