That Burleson could be a top three hitter in the National League?

What an insufferable pile of monkey meat. Just make sure you lock the door. :roll:

If he did, I think we have figured out who Shady is.

Burleson is a decent player but he isn't a top three hitter in the NL. He has been one of the top 3 hitters on the Cardinals.

Ricky Horton :roll:

I get that criticism of the team will all but ensure unemployment, but is it really so much to ask of the powers above Horton's head to allow for even-handed coverage? IOW, don't find new and inventive ways to insult basic fan intelligence.

If he's talking about batting avg., which still determines that battling title.... Burleson ranks 9th, 1 pt out of 6th place. And conceivably could be a top 3 hitter in avg, as early as this year even.

Been proved time and again - you cannot fix stupid. Juist letting all of Cardinal nation via air waves how deep and expansive his condition.

Wonder is Horton feels that, if the Cardinals actually shopped Burleson, they could get an up and coming #2 type starting pitcher with quite a few years of control for Burly. Who should be coming into his prime. With the need for offense, I don't feel the Cardinals would even consider it. Though they could sure use quality starting pitch help.

You can add a zero behind that 3 and he still wouldn’t make the cut. I have to believe you heard what you wanted to hear. If not, he should be fired.

I sense a lot of negativities circling the outhouse. How dare Horton have an opinion that deviates so widely from the Nellies. :mrgreen:

+1 I’m betting that’s what he’s talking about and he’s not wrong if that’s what he meant he could be in batting average

I took it that's what he meant. But why not go where the outrage leads?

Ricky thrilled the editor in chief no end with that take.
