Heads22 Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Dalquist already out after allowing 5 runs on 6 hits in 1.1 IP Gavin Sheets with a home run. Burger already 1-2, average up to .279 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighurt4life Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) With Burger’s hot start I see him being used as a potential trade piece. There’s no place for him in our lineup at 1b/3b/DH for the next several seasons as these spots are locked up by young talent. Burger might be enough to get us a good mid-level outfielder to fill the gap until Eloy or Robert get back. just a thought Edited May 29, 2021 by bighurt4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runtheballdown Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I’d rather keep burger and bring sheets up to play the outfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runtheballdown Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 The upside to having injuries to the mlb roster is that you get to bring up young talent to check out their progress. Nobody trades until the deadline anyway unless you really overpay which the Sox won’t do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Sheets 4-4. Man, Kanny outside of Jose Rodriguez is all in worse than a rut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes like our team, our third baseman has a whole 3 homeruns can someone as strong as moncada is has zero power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of bad baseball in the minors right now. Maybe because of 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron883 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) Everybody keeps saying "it was expected that Kannapolis would struggle." They haven't just struggled, they have been fucking garbage. It was the team everybody was excited to watch, and pretty much every player aside from Jose Rodriguez has sucked.

I don’t propose that we could flip him for a superstar OF, more like a serviceable replacement for our injured guys. Burger has been impressive at the plate thus far and we don’t really have a place for him in the lineup in the foreseeable future. We can trade from this position of abundance to fill in our injured outfield. That’s the only point I was trying to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest, most of these kids weren’t ready for full season ball. The good news is that they can go back there in 2022 and still be more than age appropriate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a large leap between talented and Yoan Moncada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that’s why I wouldn’t mind shipping him off. Moncada is our 3b and there’s almost no way Burger will replace him. So let’s move him while he’s hot and get a replacement for our OF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
