KnightsOnMintSt Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Would love to see Jake Burger make the jump at some point this season to Birmingham. He came out blazing to begin his pro career, and cooled off a little bit as the season ended. Hopefully he starts in WS and makes the jump to Birmingham during the season. Seems as if he's really been working hard this off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Simply put, a must read on Burger for subscribers to Athletic: https://theathletic.com//244928/2018/02/19/...t/?redirected=1 Bulk of article is how he has stayed in arizona, but goes really in depth on what it means for him to focus on launch angle (they have focused on timing, not big swing changes).

SoxAce Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Nice Burger interview from a few days ago I found if anyone wants to give it a listen. Talks about his past, how he's dealing with his injury, thinks Skoug was a steal for us, all about the Burger and Beer slogans, says to keep an eye out on fathom's boy Eierman in this draft, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrankinSox Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 According to Merkin, happened walking in his backyard. That makes me feel really uneasy about his recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxJon Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 After the original tear I wasn't concerned about Burger as a prospect Now I am, if this recovery doesn't go quickly, the next time we may see him in his Spring of '19 in High A...not ideal Hopefully he comes back stronger than ever, awful situation, good guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Soxfan Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Totally different players but this has me worried that we have a J. Mitchell situation, he might never be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell situation, he might never be the same. Never relied on his speed to begin with. But a big developmental setback. And I'm sure risk of re-injury is high so he may become like Konerko on the basepaths just to stay injury free.
