Saturday Singles — our short form podcast — is back! One guest. One topic. This time it’s Kyle Reis from Birds on the Black who joins me to talk about Alec Burleson’s defense.
Why that topic? Well, since the trade of Harrison Bader, there’s been a lot of chatter about who will take over in right field now and going forward. Lars Nootbaar seems to have the spot locked down for this season, but Burleson has a starter’s profile and superb offensive stats at AAA.
He also lives up to his “Burley” nickname. He’s a stout player; he has the kind of body that looks like he belongs at 1b or DH rather than roaming the outfield.
