The stroke is there. He's just real young. Considering he's like 21, and probably could have used an extra year or 2 in the minors he's actually playing pretty well. He also has shown some real potential defensively, with good range and a very good throwing arm. He just needs to mature, and the power will come.

If he's involved in any trade to the Bucs for Giles and Kendal I will turn in my season tickets on the spot and go purchase Angels seats.

Yeah, Burroughs really has a sweet, sweet swing. I think the power will come along. Hasn't he been compared to a young Palmeiro?

Also, I highly doubt he'll be part of any Giles/Kendall trade but eh.. what do I know.

Again, his swing is there, but unless he even wants to pull and lift balls out, he still needs to wait another split second for that. If he wants to balance out his hitting shart from left to right field, he needs to keep his front shoulder in and wait yet ANOTHER split second.

I wish you could have seen Burroughs hit a couple seasons ago with Portland. I witnessed two shots to deep right center that totally had me convinced he'd put up some power numbers in San Diego. I won't claim to know much about the mechanics of hitting, but his poise and approach seem different since he's been to the majors.
