There’s a long history of guys who “figure it out” at a later stage but they are certainly the rare exception. Scott Podsednik comes to mind as he had no success until he was 27. Ultimately I hold out almost no hope for this guy until he actually proves his performance is real at the MLB level.

Agreed, lots of raw talent on that team.

Kannapolis is on the verge of a winning streak!

One of the few bright spots for Kanny so far. He is young for the league and shows real potential.

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

True, but he is highly talented. 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.

There’s always plenty of teams who can use a young power hitting corner infielder.

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

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We’ll see how this plays out. Although 6 runs on 1 hit is impressive

I firmly believe in 2nd chances in life. TLR has already burned his up. He made a decision to get behind the wheel after drinking, AGAIN, and was caught (how many times did he do this without being caught?). He has lost all ability to be a leader of men and hold others accountable. I have lost all respect for him and am not interested in hearing any excuses or half baked apologies. He has already made it clear that he thinks it’s ok to drink and drive. I disagree

I think everyone is getting overly obsessed on “size”. That only plays a part in a hitter’s overall power, you have to take into consideration that power comes from how much quick twitch muscle mass they possess. There’s no way to measure this but is really the important factor.

He’ll likely end the season with 30 2B, 30 HR, and 30 SB. 30/30/30. That’s so far above any reasonable expectations I had for him coming into this season it’s almost unbelievable. I was just hoping for a healthy year so he could get some AB’s

Who has seen the kid?? How do we know he “looks” bigger than that? Not being a shit, just totally curious if someone has seen him or if it’s speculation.

Madrigal has a K rate of 3%. That’s insane, the best player in MLB this year has a rate of over 9%. His K rate could triple when he’s promoted and he’d still have the best K rate in the league, That’s insane.

Eduardo Escobar, we traded him to the twins for a pitcher I think. He’s put together a nice little career, although he’s likely an advocate of “better living through science” since he could barely hold the bat up in his younger years now all of a sudden he’s hitting 25hr a year. ?

The patella is the knee cap. You have a tendon on on the top and bottom of it (superior/inferior aspects), attaching it to the femur and tibia respectively. No ligaments on the patella, probably tore a patellar tendon.

Excellent D, baserunning, contact skills and plate discipline. The ONLY thing he isn’t doing right now is hitting for power. And that isn’t much of a surprise

Yeah but did it LOOK good, that’s much more important than the results

For the love of god he’s had two bad weeks. Please step back from the edge. He hit 300 last season in high a and is young for the league.
