Yes

Should be either a toss in when a BIG deal is made or flipped solo for a minor league RP.

Not sure why the BoSox haven't come calling for the remainder of the season as a replacement for their lost 1st Bman since Devers told them to take a hike.

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.

Nice call, Marshall! Let's take a look at that "nice, steady progress" from a "fine MLB hitter, indeed".

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?

Richard, let me remind you how pathetic Contreras was hitting earlier in the season.

No need. I'm aware he got off to a disastrous start.

However, as I tried to explain to you...as a really good hitter with an actual track record of success, there was never a doubt that he would come roaring back! And roaring back he has. I guess Burly won't be permanently replacing him anytime soon as you predicted?

But...you didn't answer the question....

Where is the progress?

There's nothing as dumb as CT folks who want to trade a lousy player. For what? A bag of rocks is all he'd bring back. But yeah, it may be addition by subtraction.
If you advocate a trade, then please tell us -- for whom? The process of looking for a good deal will show you that there are no such trades.

His value is 1.6 low, 2 median, and a high of 2.4. Ha.
