Burke was sent down, but has yet to actually appear. Does RR need to make a move, or was there an extra slot on the roster?
And where is Burke likely to play when he does show up for duty? The infield looks solid (Rivera/Huffman, Conrad, Coolbaugh/Klassen, Whiteman/Klassen). Huffman and Whiteman are both struggling, but even if Whiteman is sent back to AA (which seems to me to be unlikely) I doubt if Burke's future is at SS. The outfield (Scott, Gipson, Wesson, Self) is already crowded. Self is leading the league in hitting; Scott needs to play; Gipson & Wesson are both contributing mightily to the offense. So does Burke end up playing CF for a while waiting for a trade?
Or maybe the fact that he has not shown up means there is a trade in the works??
Or maybe I just have too much time on my hands and have given in to idle speculation.
