I think Yas will move Seby. Seby has already burned an option this year. If you send him down, you can call him back on 9/1. If you send down Collins, you burn an option for like 4 or 5 days of a roster spot.

If Burger could get by in a corner OF position, he'd already be starting in our OF. 100%. But he can't. He seems to be limited to 3b/1b, which buries him behind two incredible players.

They would have found a place for him, it just wasn't going to be SS.

Because Tatis didn't commit 18 errors in his first 82 games at SS in SD in 2019? Heck this year he has 20 errors in 84 games, and is a pretty large negative UZR/150 player at SS. That is without even touching the LARGE OOZ advantage that TA has at SS.

Sure, but it would have been at 2B or 3B, not SS.

Tim Anderson would be our SS today. Full stop. Anderson made it to the majors ahead of Tatis, not to mention Tatis can't stay healthy anyway. Plus the underlying assumption is that the Sox would have pushed Tatis to the majors as fast as SD did, and I am not sure about that.

Let's get some of that lefty pitcher dominance going again.

That's a comp I didn't expect. Maybe the end up similar hitters, but Rios was like 6'5"/200. Cespedes like like 5'9"/200 and thick as a bull.

This is one of the best gif's ever.

Burger lack of defensive flexibility is tough to over come on this roster.
