Yes, an SI “reporter” regurgitating the baseless trade speculation of a Royals internet blogger definitely demanded yet another repetitive “Burly” thread from you.

WC has an .831 ops w stl.
And his numbers vs RHP last year was better than AB.
Come on, man…
Doesn’t change the fact you were judging WC on one game…
Cuse, I’m with you on your last statement concerning Oli. He’s gotta be on the clock to prove he can manage, support and position all of these younger players to succeed as best their talent can show.
Not a fan of Oli in general.Looksgoodonyouthough wrote: ↑29 Mar 2025 12:27 pmCuse, I’m with you on your last statement concerning Oli. He’s gotta be on the clock to prove he can manage, support and position all of these younger players to succeed as best their talent can show.
Right now, Contreras seems pull happy. He needs to take those sliders the other way. Unless they hang one. If he continues to have contact issues, he should be lowered in the batting order. Another thing, it wouldn't have been a bad idea to pinch hit Baker for Burleson against the LHP at that point of the game with the nice lead.Shady wrote: ↑28 Mar 2025 21:26 pmLike I said.

Advocating a PH for Burleson? Are you OK?Shady wrote: ↑29 Mar 2025 16:52 pmRight now, Contreras seems pull happy. He needs to take those sliders the other way. Unless they hang one.

1. He's ridiculously slow.
2. DH is his only real position. He's a liability in the field.
3. He's absolutely helpless vs lefties.
4. He doesn't walk.
5. He chases pitches out of the strike zone which often results in weak contact.
6. His power is negligible. 41 XBHS in 595 PAs last season.
Did I miss anything?

Nice call, Marshall! Let's take a look at that "nice, steady progress" from a "fine MLB hitter, indeed".Shady wrote: ↑28 Mar 2025 18:26 pm It's, obviously, a "head-scratcher" to some here that see how the Cardinals seem to really like Burleson's hitting ability. Something they don't/can't see. By the way, he hit a couple missiles right at somebody yesterday. He is a fine MLB hitter, indeed. The Cardinals know they were fortunate to draft him when they did. And to get some really good production/value out of him. Stay tuned for some nice, steady progress.
Richard, let me remind you how pathetic Contreras was hitting earlier in the season.Monsieur De Treville wrote: ↑10 May 2025 10:00 amNice call, Marshall!

Burly 2025:
.250/.296/.343/.638/79
4 doubles/2 HR/11 RBI
THAT is a below average MLB hitter, you silly old man!
Tell me...where is the progress?
