Also kind of suprised that we didn't see some of the younger BP guys with options get sent down for a guy like Markel and/or Severino.

I wonder if Burr does have an injury that is holding him up to the point where the Sox need his roster spot more than they need to wait around to see if he comes back.

Yes. "older" Cuban player who just signed.

Yeah this is all about personal responsibility, if true. While not the most vile of actions, this is 100% the fault of Tim Anderson, and TA only.

When a franchise is already employing Daryl Boston and Tony LaRussa, it is hard to waste energy on a cheat. While I hate it, in the scope of all of the things that happen in day to day life, this is not anywhere on that spectrum. He's not beating his wife, taking drugs, a raging racist, rapist, multiple drunk driver etc.

The fact that they let both Vaughn and Sheets play the OF (Vaughn also playing 3B and 2B at different times) should make it really, really obvious that Jake Burger is so awful defensively that even Tony LaRussa hasn't been willing to play him at those other positions. His absolute lack of any defensive flexibility is 100% the issue here.

Sheets doesn't play 3rd, and Burger doesn't play LF or RF. There is no overlap there.

Sure, and the stats at that time showed that Burger was an easy send down. He was in a horrible slump and can't help the team at all defensively.

This is such a waste of time.

There is a reason people cheat. Look at the difference between Pre and Post Barry Bonds and ask that question again.

The lack of a real spring training is killing pitching all over MLB. It is a slow motion disaster.

Giving full season stats for that day in question isn't the whole picture. Jake had slashed a .179/.250/.179/.429 line with 15 Ks in 32 PAs before he got sent down. His 279/.296./465/.761 to start the season had held it up. The other bigger problem for Jake is his defense. He can barely play 3rd, and that's it. When you make a list like this, it is mostly nonsense. Jake can't catch, so why are you comparing to the two catchers? Jake can't play OF, so why compare him to Engel? Sheets is left-handed which is why he stuck around, and he can stand in the OF, which is more than Burger can, sadly. Mendick was sent down. Harrison can play more than 3B, as can Leury. Burger didn't have a clear path to ABs until Yoan got hurt again, and then Jake came up and hit, which actually made it more of a priority to squeeze him into the line up.

Going to guess he is on a pretty stiff 80ish pitch limit

Everybody sucks and we should trade them is one of my favorite message board posts. If everyone is overrated, why does anyone else want to trade for them?

He was hitting pretty awful when they sent him down.

While Sox fans probably know this story well, Buster is writing for a national audience who might not know what happened between Hawk and Tony 40 years ago.

You just called Sox fans classless in a previous post, so I won't accept this post as honest either. You are lying in one of them, or trolling in both. Which is it?

It sounds like a guy that TLR would absolutely adore.

And Crypto is just getting destroyed. Hope there are a lot of long term holders out there in both stocks and crypto, because there is no sense in selling now.

Also hard to hit homers when you are perpetually injured.

If the trope is the Sox are abusing injured players, that really isn't better.

This is your worst troll yet, as it is all a lie. Try harder.

Then cross him off the list.
