    So that's it, just a blanket statement ? Burger is arguably your best hitter. If he had 95 more AB, the same as Robert he might be their best hitter so because it's Yankee Stadium you can't get Burger and Sheets in the lineup together ?

    How many other guys in baseball do you think that have hitting stats similar to Burger haven't been in the starting lineup 4 of the last 6 games  and guys as pitiful as Moncada getting so much time ahead of him .

    How many of these 18 road games is Burger going to sit when the Sox desperately need wins ?

    You are just going to have to play Burger and hope his road stats improve.

    If you want a 6-12 road trip and to essentially be in sell mode at the deadline keep him out of the lineup as much as you want , home and on the road. That's what Grifol has been doing anyway , starting him 1/3 of the time the last 6 games. Luckily his 1 AB of the game Grand Slam Sunday gave the Sox a win and his HBP the day before pushed the runner to 3rd base to allow the winning run to score on a wild pitch.

    Burger .9 fWAR , SHeets  .1, Mocada .4, Vaughn .2 , Eloy .2 . Burger fWAR is the same as those other 4 players COMBINED !

    Burger has a road OPS of .463. Not sure he's the one to be contributing to your aforementioned road woes on the positive side of things. That said if they wanted to find a spot for both Sheets and Burger that'd be fine. Playing Sheets as your lefty power bat in Yankee stadium does make a lot of sense though.

    Keith Law’s 1st Mock. Would hate the  two players being mentioned here.
     

    15. Chicago White Sox – Noble Meyer, RHP, Jesuit High (Portland, Ore.)

    I also think they could be the high team on Florida right-hander Hurston Waldrep, who definitely fits in with some of the college starters they’ve favored over the last 10-plus years. This is just me talking here, but in their situation, with a weak farm system and their best prospect on the shelf, I’d be all over some of the college bats likely to be around here – Troy, Shaw, Bradfield (if he gets here), Colton Ledbetter and so on.

    It's like the commentary was done completely independent of the mock pick.
