RBK, that’s ridiculous, I’m an amateur poster here like all likely are. We share opinions. But, how can Average Joe posters here, pompously, feel they are more accomplished than professional baseball commentators? That’s what I’m getting at.
AdM, feels, “Commentators are paid to pimp the Cards”. Frankly, I haven’t heard notable professional Cardinals’ baseball commentators “pimp”, as you post, Gorman, Walker and even, Contreras, recently, like they have Burleson. Wonder why that is.
RBK, yet, recently, some notable professional baseball commentators. Not internet Cardinals MB posters that I know of. Have claimed Burleson is the best hitter on the team and the most dangerous hitter on the team. They must not pay the attention to stats that some internet posters dwell on. Isn’t it kind of odd that some notable professional analysts think more highly of Burleson than many Average Joe MB posters do?
AdM that should read “current” “professional baseball credibility” and add Mark Sweeney to growing list of esteemed Burleson admirers for Burleson as a hitter. Burly night be a little off right now but, “my glass is half full” when it comes to anything regarding Burleson’s rare talent as a hitter. Stay tuned !
AdM you are going to get “the short end of the stick” by continuing to try to ‘save your butt” from past and corrent dimmissiveness towards Burleson. Please go back and listen, again, to what Joe Buck had to say regarding Alec Burleson. Please consider this. Who might just have more professional credibility, you, Joe Buck, Jim Edmonds, Chip Caray, Marmol, etc. They seem to have enormous respect for Burleson’s hitting ability. You get my drift? Maybe not. lol
AdM, in case you haven’t noticed, Recently, Burleson has been batting cleanup and 5th for an MLB team. Somebody with some professional baseball credentials must feel he’s a hitting threat. You seem to be in denial. No biggie. lol
LACardFan, “Burleson can hit slightly better than Siani”. Are you blind? Most professional baseball scouts would get a good chuckle out of that ridiculous comment.
KBC, that’s comical. Jim Edmonds sees Burleson’s hitting ability. He’s said it before. Plain and simple. I choose to value his and other professional baseball people’s take on Burleson. Rather than cynical massage board poster’s take.
AdM, despite the stats, Jim Edmonds seems to have a lot of respect for Burleson’s hitting ability. Today isn’t the first time Edmonds has praised Burleson’s hitting ability. Considering credibility, who should I believe, you or Edmonds? To me, Edmonds seems like a “straight shooter” regarding baseball. He’s an outstanding baseball analyst. Carry on with your bantering, if you will. I choose to place more value in what I’ve heard from professional baseball people regarding Burleson.
You need to give a Cardinals’ scout a call with you specific concerns. Most of us here are just amateur observers. But, from my amateur observations, I’ll say this. The Cardinals organization has some fine hitters in Burleson, Saggese and Prieto. Like I said, you likely need to consult a professional scout for detailed information.
t8ball12, you know all about taunting. Burleson just keeps hitting, consistently. Horton’s professional expertise just might be, right on.
bccran, not the way he’s hitting. Do you have better professional baseball credentials than Ricky Horton? Horton is very high on Burleson as an MLB hitter. As referenced in an earlier post.
BOCfan, who would be a better judge of MLB hitting potential, you or Ricky Horton? What kind of professional baseball background do you have? Just sayin’.
It’s kind of funny seeing some of the Burleson bashers doing the “bob and weave” now. Some, who were extremely demeaning towards him. Some still can’t quite let it go. Keep mashing the ball, Burly. Like wally and I forecasted a long time ago. With the help of a professional baseball scout.
