April 16, 20223 yr Burger would easily start over Kevin Smith in Oakland, be cost controllable for that organization for awhile and never look back. Probably some other teams that could use him pretty badly. I mean… Burger is almost like Matt Chapman again for them. Edited April 16, 20223 yr by SouthSideGeorgia

Let's see his game play out a bit more before making further judgments about him. For example, I could definitely see getting rid of Leury or Harrison and keeping Burger on the roster if he keeps this up. Jake's D has been surprising to me. I thought he was not going to be as mobile as he has been after his Achilles injuries. HRs win games and Jake's blast against a pretty good pitcher probably won that game for the Sox. Leury has a 3 year deal and Tony has a hard on for him. He’s not going anywhere.
April 16, 20223 yr I almost gagged this morning when I saw the lineup for today with Garcia at 2B, Harrison at 3B and Burger on the bench! What the Hell!

Either way, good problem to have and both look like better options at 2b than Madrigal this year. Harrison and Garcia are both great as role players just not starters. If Burger and Moncada are in the lineup it sure looks tiring for the pitchers we face.

If Burger can play second and look average, I think this is the smartest move. But do you disrespect a veteran that you brought on board with benching him so early in the season? Doesn't seem like a Tony move. If Burger continues to rake while Moncada is out and Harrison stays cold, I hope TLR goes for it. Moncada defensively is too valuable at 3rd to move him to 2nd. Abreu saved about 2 dozen throwing errors by Moncada last year.
