I'd guess you'll see a little of both.  As much as I'm not a Burke fan, I'm even less of a Lane fan.  I think it's primarily Burke.

honestly...what can be gained by bringing up lane and not anderson or rodriguez?  i dont catch any RR games but i did see anderson is hitting a decent .272 with 31 bags...and is only 24.  just dont understand why you dont get a guy AB's on the ML level that might have a future with the organization, since this season is essentially over.

They might not want one of those guys up to ride the pine.

Craptastic.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

I understand the lack of expectations for Lane, and having watched his upper cut for most of a year at RR, I can't say that I am overly optimistic.  On the other hand, he was really starting to rake at RR, and I certainly *hope* that he learns to adjust to MLB pitching this time around.  I would *like* to see himm succeed, if only to raise his trade value.

Surely they have learned to keep Burke out of CF, haven't they?  And Scott is only a little better.  Lane & Bruntlett can both play the position, at least.

I am thinking that Lane will be in center most of the time.  There is a good chance that Loretta will be dealt.  If that happens Bruntlett will be playing short until Everett comes back.

Oh, so he's got a backup skill in case the fielding and batting thing doesn't work out? I suppose they can always use another dirt-raker during the 7th inning stretch.

Well, hopefully Pence won't be out for the rest of the year.  And I'm assuming that Carlos Lee keeps his job in LF.
