He would be the closest to make it

2 years....

We have a 3B prospect worthy of playing in the bigs? Maybe in 4 years if Burger were struggling as bad as Moncada has the last 2 seasons and Burger could move to 1st or DH and Kath killed it in AAA the year before then there we would have a comparable situation... At which point yes, I would say move Burger off of 3B and let the prospect play, especially if our bench consisted of the garbage it does now

SS2K math class 2 + 2 = 65682829219017636

I disagree. Show me a team that is competing that would roster half the guys on our team (hell TB wouldn't and they are cheaper than we are)

You obviously don't know what a prospect is. How is Witt doing....crap How is JRod doing....crap How is Kelenic doing....crap Propects need consistent playing time to allow for them to make the necessary adjustments and learn what major league pitchers are doing. Maybe you aren't a real baseball fan since you have a delusional expectation that a prospect is going to come up and be a superstar from day 1

That's Moncada's numbers from last year ?

Just that Leury, Harrison, Sheets, Mendick, Engel wouldn't even be rostered by the Yankees. That's 5 players we are rostering that wouldn't even crack the Yankees roster or any of the World Series contenders for that matter. (Yes I realize 2 are there bc of injury but still that is atrocious roster creation) Donaldson IKF DJL Rizzo Torres Gonzalez Stanton Judge Hicks Gallo

1 seasons worth? 2020 was insanely worse than 2021

I said his bat and profile meaning what he is doing at the plate not in the field. Moncada's bat to this point is a 2B. Now he does have the potential to regain that power if he can get over whatever has been keeping the down

A traditional 3B hits more than 14 HRs and 60 RBIs.....oh wait thats a traditional 2B

Missed him. Still way too much. Moncada's bat and profile show him to be a very subpar traditional 3B, but an above average 2B (which is where he should be unless the power comes back) We are building a world series contender here, not just putting a passable sub-par product on the field like the 2022 Reds ? Southsider2k wants you to believe that Leury, Mendick and Sheets are great, but they wouldn't even be on the 40 man for real world series contenders......which is the problem. Where would they be if they were on the Yankees, Blue Jays, Dodgers, Braves, Mets, etc. They wouldn't be on those team at all (Burger would)

When they all hit sub .150 then your points are meaningless ?

Moncada had the most errors in baseball by a 3B in 2021.....

Nothing has changed. Still love Moncada which is why I've never said Burger deserves a roster spot over him. I just feel Moncada needs to be at 2B and Burger at 3B to optimize this lineup and put our best product on the field. Hell, my username was Moncada for the longest time, I've just seen a large regression in his hitting ability ever since he got covid. I'm really hoping having the first month plus off has allowed him to regain that fire and power that has been missing from his game, bc we definitely need it and him in the lineup Leury, Sheets, Mendick, and Harrison are what is not needed. None of those 4 deserve a spot over Burger, not one. Burger is a guy that if we traded will go off and have a spectacular career. It's just embarrassing that the Sox would rather play crap guys and roster crap guys over him.

Lol.

When all you do is walk or K you have a higher wRC+ lol. It means you won't do anything for your team except K or stand at 1B and wait for your teammates to actually do good. (Now does he have the talent to do much better, yes, but he has lost his game since he got covid and needs to get it back. Hopefully being in the minors has helped him some)

Well he didn't get hits, RBI's, SB's, or runs.....so what did he do ?

Which was probably better than Sheets, Mendick and Harrison combined

Moncada hasn't done anything yet so ill still stand by it. Burger so far this season has been better than Moncada as a hitter last season. Moncada better start hot and stay hot

Burger walked and scored in the 9th when we were down 1, we lose without him Friday in the 8th he took a pitch to let Engel steal then hit a SF which ultimately lead to him scoring Tuesday he had an RBI infield single and we won a close game What's Sheets, Harrison, Leury and Mendick done over that span......largely absolutely nothing outside of a Leury HR

I never said he was better. Can Burger develop into a better hitter, absolutely, but he needs playing time and the ability to adjust like any other prospect in his rookie season. Is he a better hitter than Moncada now, hell no. Is he a better fielder, hell no. Burger at this exact moment in time is a far better hitter though than Sheets, Leury, Harrison and Mendick....which is why he should still be on the roster over all of them.

Burger single handedly has lead us to a couple of wins on the winning streak. You obviously haven't been watching

I never said Burger deserves a spot over Moncada. I have in fact said numerous times that Burger needs to start at 3B and Moncada at 2B and if they don't want to do that then Moncada at 3B and Burger at 2B. Moncada has to be in the lineup, its the trash at 2B that don't deserve a roster spot. You and @southsider2k5 have your heads so far up you ass that you can't understand basic words in a sentence that form a thought
