Jabroni Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpag...ort=MLB&id=6717 Latest News Jan. 14, 2005 - 3:57 pm et White Sox sent catcher Jamie Burke outright to Triple-A Charlotte. Burke was removed from the 40-man roster to make room for A.J. Pierzynski. If he accepts the assignment -- and he probably will -- he'll be invited to spring training to battle for a bench spot.

DonkeyKongerko Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I wouldn't be surprised if he beat out Ben Davis. Ozzie likes the keed (sic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 SMart move by Burke. He knows not too many teams will sign a 33 year old minor league catcher, no matter what he hit last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I'm just glad we have him in order to backup in case of injury or even be the third catcher on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Burke knows he's valued by the Sox and has a decent chance of seeing some ML roster time this year. I fully expected him to stay with the organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Yeah I wasn't thinking if he was at soxfest that he wouldn't be in the organization... I like Jamie, I really do. I'm glad we landed him a couple ST's ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
