Burch should go straight to AA. 
 

His ERA is 3.99 and he has given up 5 homers in 29 innings but everything is good.  No reason to send him to A ball.

 

 

Which means he'll be in 2023 at this rate.

Martin is going to get SS, Urias will get Second, and Valaika will get on that sad train to the horizon.

So he improved to “less terrible.”

And yet I’d be happy to see him get some flings on the big mound this season.

Cash considerations also a part of this deal.

Sounds reasonable for two months of a 1-2 win player making $1.5M.

Burch does have 49 strikeouts in 29 innings this year in A ball, which can't be much below average even in 2021.

Wow, ease up on the sarcasm throttle a little!

Richie Martin makes Austin hays look like an Iron Man.

With plenty of health insurance and retirement pay!

I really don't like this trade if it means I have to watch Domingo Leyba  try to hit baseballs thrown by ML pitchers and try to field baseballs hit by ML hitters.

Don't worry, at some point it will get so bad, Elias will bring Stevie back up.

You don't have to tonight!   Valaika is starting.   Guess it's a platoon, Pat vs lefties and Domingo vs righties.

Burch looks pretty good on paper. Can't complain for half a season of Galvis

I like keeping Valaika available on the bench for late inning replacement - either pitching or fielding.

A little sarcasm, but on Burch's high A team there are nine pitchers with 12+ K/9, and the team is 33-41.  Used to be if you had Burch's K rate and K:BB ratio you were on the fast track to the majors, on the cover of Baseball America.  Now I don't even know if he's a prospect.

And it seems that we are sending cash back? I wonder how much of Galvis’ salary we are paying in order to get this guy? Elias must be really high on him.
