Could Burly be better overall than Ohtani?

Burly, at 26, has reached the 2.2 innings-pitched threshold and carrying a 0.00 ERA this season. Strikeout rate holding steady under 20%, and lock for utility gold glove. Plenty of sample to draw definitive comclusion. Ohtani - career 3.01 ERA and durability issues and strikes out over 20% of the time, and too lazy to play defense.
No way Cards brass would trade Burly for Ohtani, or any other scrub. Especially with Sagesse, Roby, Church on way. Oli would walk. Discuss

No reply from me until I hear from my baseball guru, the Shade Tree Dog Pooper Scooper.

Great point. Need top-tier analysis to make informed decision.

Wow. When you lay it out all logical like that it makes you wonder. And Burley is WAY cheaper on the payroll.

Excellent point on payroll. It would be interesting to see if Burly’s agent would accept an extension with $800 million deferred. Maybe Saggese too. High brass must consider.

Simmer down Cranberry. No need for hostility during simple baseball discussion. What do you think about Burly's skills compared to Ohtani?
You clicked, you read...now discuss.

Not very classy Cranny. Especially not for the guy most known for his lectures on decency.

Why would you post in the thread at all. I won’t hold my breath for an honest answer to that.

Old Cranberry just gets a little wound up. Got me good for posting the day BEFORE Memorial Day for being disrespectful to Veterans. Never mind I served and Father-in-Law and both Grandfathers Vets of foreign wars. Guess he's just more patriotic and decided to put me in my place. Never could get him to stay OT either.

You seem to post in many VERY similar topics posted by "one not to be named directly" See what I mean about not staying OT? Now...Ohtani vs. Burly...go go Bubarino
