Dam8610 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:13 PM) It's Jake Burger Well they did say they wanted a college bat, just figured they'd go for the athletic guy over the corner IF that's likely to end up at 1B.

GreenSox Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Hope not. Take best talent available; no reaching - no position picking. Can always trade pitching if there's an excess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad choice in my opinion. Big, big power potential. If he eventually moves to first, no worries... either Jose' becomes the DH or he's traded.

BlackSox13 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:14 PM) Can't say I would mind having Burger and Beer on a couple jerseys at the very least haha I made a joke about that in one of the FS threads. Last year we drafted Jameson, this year Burger and with the way the Sox are playing this year we may add a Beer to that menu next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I like Jake Burger alot. A bit of a reach/underslot but I love his potential. Also fits the OBP theme Hostetler wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I've heard swing criticisms with Burger. Referencing an arm bar. I sure hope he can stick at 3B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Draft clearly didn't go as we hoped. Burger was the safest bat left and I don't have a problem with it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
