ABs will exist for Burger, but it will have to mean the end of Alberto on the roster, if we're being honest with ourselves. I'm fine with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After today's game, Burger has a higher career wRC+ than Eloy and Andrew Vaughn. Moncada is not the guy who should be worried about getting squeezed.

We largely survived because Bautista couldn't go three consecutive days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can go back to where he started and play 2B occasionally for all I care. You have to keep Burgers bat in the lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Burger was a high draft pick why is his future in question. He was a 3B.....can he play LF? I'm not joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not joking. They won't Josh Fields, Dayan Viciedo or Mark Teahen him in the middle of the season. RF not an option either. Could never put Benintendi in RF.

Autumn Dreamin Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Not a pretty win, but the bats showed some life. Yaz had a big day at the plate, but it's a day game tomorrow so I'm not sure they'll have him catch again. He could DH, but I doubt they want Eloy in the field just yet coming off the IL. Maybe just save him for a PH if needed? Either way, gonna need Cease to pitch deep tomorrow. BP is taxed as hell, wouldn't surprise me to see a roster move just to get a fresh arm up.

brijames1957 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Have to give Grandal credit for losing some weight and getting in great shape. At least he is showing that he cares. Also you have to find a spot for Burger as long as he is hitting. If Jimenez doesn't hit there is no spot for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
