This may mean Burger is here a while.

But a big recognition of Forbes, who to me is another sign of Sox PD working better.

We acquired him as a raw, toolsy player from Texas for MiGo in 2017 as a 20 year old.

While producing decent averages, he had no power to speak of, but slowly climbed up the ladder from W-S to Bham.

In 2019 in Bham, something interesting happened, he started to walk a lot. He doubled his walks from year before and put up a nice .330 OBP despite a low average.  But again, zero power.

Them we miss him for a full year and he comes back to Bham as a 24 year old and starts off with a fantastic .299/.356/.456 slash line. He had more homers in 2 months this year than all of 2019, his .150+ iso his best yet.

Congrats to Forbes! Go kick charlottes ass and don’t look back. 

Maybe they're just keeping him at 2B? He's been playing there as of late. 

First day he’s 1-3 with a BB and played 1B

Great post. Thanks for the update and the details. 

This guy is the type of dude where if you just showed up at an MiLB park knowing absolutely nothing depending on the day, you may think this guy is the best player on the field. He has plenty of natural ability.

A win for the Sox PD staff. They've gotten so much better there.
