October 3, 200421 yr I had a count going before I left for vacation in july he had dropped 5 balls on throws home. I called home one night and heard about the Burke/Hunter collision, I didn't even ask if he held onto the ball. I already knew. I stopped the count then... but it was 6 near the end of July, so you can guess where it is now. glad I wasn't the only one to notice. Other than that I can't complain about Burke's catching. I haven't noticed runners stealing much, (though that could be because he mostly catches Buehrle)and he seems to keep almost everything in front of him. I was gonna say the same thing. He can't hold onto the ball at home plate. Makes me afraid he would cost us critical game.
October 3, 200421 yr one problem with burke 32 years old. No there are two problems with Burke and the second one is that he is not a good defensive catcher. Pretty good with the bat though. I would hope the Sox might try and upgrade at catcher in the off season.
