Hey Guru, if you were paying attention. Frenchy brought Burly up. So I responded. By the way, I realize you don't care for Burleson as a player. But how do you like the way Burleson has been hitting lately?

That's an inaccurate statement considering how much better Burleson has looked hitting than Contreras recently. Get real !Monsieur De Treville wrote: ↑20 May 2025 08:12 amI would counter that EVERYONE on the roster needs to "shine". The big bucks guys earned those contracts and have earned those dollars. This of course is true in almost any endeavor, not just professional sports.
I'm quite certain guys like Winn, Scott, Herrera, and your beloved Burly hope to earn one of those BIG BUCKS contracts one day. The time to earn it is now.
Your continued attacks on Contreras are hilarious. Are you mad because you said Burly would probably replace him at first base this season? As I've explained to you, Contreras did get off to a slow start...but he remains one of the most dangerous hitters in the lineup. He has the track record. He's a far better hitter than Burly will ever be...you're just going to have to deal with that! You may even wish to admit you were wrong about Burly ending up the Cards starting first baseman in 2025.
Recently? What does that mean?
Contreras is a 3 time All Star. A World Champion. A guy who hits against BOTH lefties and righties.
Contreras: 257/352/458/810/117
Burleson: 259/310/405/714/97
Burly is a part-time player. He's light-years away from being as good as Contreras. The numbers don't lie. Burly is a career mediocre hitter!
