Sorry but I'm just not going to compare one of these kids to an all-time great. “The Kid” was an All-Star at the age of 20 and was going to be the HR King had injuries not derailed his career. Burke does have a very bright future and I know y’all are just wanting to compare swings and trying to compliment Burke, but I’m never going to put that type of pressure on one of these kids. Y’all can do it if you want, but it’s just too far for me.

Just comparing his swing type, not the results. If you doubt that Burke's swing looks like Griffey's, take a look at what is posted on-line with the side by side comparisons. Again: It LOOKS LIKE Griffey's swing, not saying he will have the same success.

You have to fit into their little click over there if you're not a regular poster. I stopped posting last year or so. I can post for 30 minutes & they never hardly ever have a response to you.

Holds true for the women's basketball threads as well. Just a bunch of angry miserable types there.

LOL. Yours is the opposite of mine.

Here's one more tidbit. My next door neighbor is a state police. After Drew Gilbert hit the walkoff slam against Wright State, my wife's celebration brought him over to the house for a wellness check. LOL.

By the way is your wife a redhead???? Enquiring minds are curious. But please do not give her my screen name.

Have the guys the Orioles received in exchange for Machado ever amounted to anything? I don’t even know who all they got from the Dodgers.

Very Good question. i could be wrong, not going to do a lot of research, but it's doubtful any will be on the next good Oriole team, whenever that is. They were brought in to help bridge the gap during the rebuild.

Did you introduce them to Stella, that might help.

So far, I've been treated pretty well over there. Not rude to me at all.

Too many women in there posting .... they'd be getting too jelly over that lovely Lady.

Just quickly watching the two HR's yesterday, on the first one, he drops his hands in more of a Chris Davis type cock motion. The second one was more just straight pure Ken Griffey Jr style.

However, your point is quite valid. Someone spent a lot of time with him developing that smooth of swing. Tremendous hip action and weight transfer.

Burke is very young, so we've see how he develops. Once there is more film out there against good pitching, the film guys usually find some holes in the swing. And, he doesn't appear to be ready for left handed pitching yet. Takes time.

I'm curious as to whether he can play left field in a pinch? The roster lists him as 1B/OF.

Sharp .. yes. Soon as I'd get mine on it would be knock off & land in the dirt.

He certainly does look unarmed against left handed pitching sometimes.

I was just reading some of the replies in the softball thread. Those people, supposedly fans of UT, are as gutlessly harsh on our players and coaches as the people in the football forum. They just give off an evil vibe.

Yeah, mad4vols wants me to get killed over there for posting Stella's picture. I know him.
