Agreed
Burly is a good backup. He'll never be the star you predicted, but he may keep his job as a scrub for a few years until his lack of conditioning leads his body to fail as he enters his 30's.
Are you you absolutely positive Contreras is faster and more astute than Burleson running the bases? I'm not. Ex. Burly running the bases today. By the way, I feel Burleson is a better clutch hitter late in the game than Contreras against a stud RH closer. Contreras is too vulnerable to the strikeout. JMO Should Burleson have been better off selling insurance today than hitting for the Cardinals like you suggested? LOLMonsieur De Treville wrote: ↑24 May 2025 19:12 pmBurly is a good backup.

Not sure how you measure astute, but Burley is in the 4th percentile in sprint speed, WC is in the 51st. Willson would kill him in a race.Shady wrote: ↑24 May 2025 20:26 pmAre you you absolutely positive Contreras is faster and more astute than Burleson running the bases? I'm not. Ex.

Contreras is much faster, better base runner, and better hitter. I'd give you supporting data, but you would simply ignore it.Shady wrote: ↑24 May 2025 20:26 pmAre you you absolutely positive Contreras is faster and more astute than Burleson running the bases?

The thing with Marshall is...you can give him all the supporting data which is available and he'll just ignore it. In his eyes Burly is faster and has had a much more productive career than Contreras.Alex Reyes Cy Young wrote: ↑24 May 2025 20:45 pmNot sure how you measure astute, but Burley is in the 4th percentile in sprint speed, WC is in the 51st.

Frenchy, "your boy" is very, very vulnerable to the strike out against really good RHP. More so than Burleson. Why can't you admit that?Monsieur De Treville wrote: ↑24 May 2025 21:08 pmThe thing with Marshall is...you can give him all the supporting data which is available and he'll just ignore it.

Burleson is a solid backup. Good to see him playing better
