I don’t even know why the Phillies took Burriss on the opening day roster.
I don’t even know why Burriss is a major league ball player.

He had a really good spring
Brixton
He OPS’d .793 without a HR, so not really.

If I remember correctly, the general buzz was that he had some really slick D at 1B, plus he was physically capable of backing up multiple infield positions, and was pretty fast.
When your 1B D consists of Howard and Ruf, and you’re not expecting to compete, I guess that’s a move you don’t have to not make… But Mackanin used him as the first PH bat in almost every game, and that was nauseating.

What is he doing with his bat in that picture? Is he trying to push a bunt somewhere? He looks like he’s swinging an oar.

Burriss may the worst player on a MLB roster. Only redeeming qualities are good hair and a batting avg lower than ryan Howard

Finally!!

When is it Howard’s turn???

Barring a surprise playoff run? October 4th or 5th, most likely.
