Also any word on his defense to date???</p> what are you guys oppinions of Burgess’s performance so far…so far it looks like he’s striking out an awful lot looks like he needs to work on his plate discipline…But although he has a bad BA his RBI and HR numbers are looking average.

Burgess's first two weeks for Hagerstown were likely the first time that he played in anything other than a warm climate. There is a big difference playing baseball when it's in the 40s and 50s versus the 70s and 80s. With the weather starting to moderate, I hope/think Burgess will get back into his comfort zone.</p> Realize in advance that this is a bit of a lame excuse, but Burgess is from Florida, he played in Florida (Gulf Coast League) when he first signed and then played in Vermont in August (even Vermont is warm in August).
