November 4, 200520 yr per rotoworld Rangers signed catcher-infielder Jamie Burke to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training. Burke should get himself a World Series ring after going 0-for-1 in six days with the White Sox in May. He spent far more of 2004 on the club's roster and hit .333/.386/.408 in 120 AB. The Rangers don't figure to carry the 34-year-old as a bench player, but he's a rather handy guy to have stashed away in Triple-A. Nov. 3 - 4:19 pm et They must like our old catchers.
November 4, 200520 yr This probably belongs in ATH but I understand why you put it in here. Anyways, I wish Jamie nothing but the best, I really hope he gets an opportunity there.
November 4, 200520 yr Still curious as to why he wasn't called up in September, but thats all in the past. I do with him luck in Texas though.

November 4, 200520 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 10:53 PM) Raul Casanova is the superior defensive catcher. And Burke plays two positions
November 4, 200520 yr QUOTE(Felix @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 09:54 PM) And Burke plays two positions Both poorly, there was really no need for Jaime Burke.
November 4, 200520 yr Burke was pretty much the Crash Davis of the Sox. A guy who just hung around in the Minors and than when he gets his shot he made the most of it. Cool story.
November 4, 200520 yr QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 08:09 PM) Someone needs to bring back the Hunter/Burke picture from last season. Oh yeah, weren't the boards a fun place the day after that.
November 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 03:46 AM) Oh yeah, weren't the boards a fun place the day after that. I still think that was a f***ing bush play to the day. I got so pissed when Thriller didnt drill Hunter right in the f***in back after that. Meh, so be it. Sox won this year, Twins didn't. I'm cool.
November 7, 200520 yr Someone needs to bring back the Hunter/Burke picture from last season. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That was easy.
November 7, 200520 yr QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 03:09 AM) Someone needs to bring back the Hunter/Burke picture from last season. I never saw the f***ing play. Either way I still hate Hunter even after we've won it all.

After that incident, everything went down the drain. Though this year makes up for all of that crap.
