The Braves have signed SS Chris Burke to a minor league contract and assigned him to AAA Gwinnett. Burke has played parts of six seasons in the Major Leagues with Houston, Arizona, and most recently with San Diego, playing 32 games for the Padres this season, hitting .207. His most recent team was Tacoma , AAA for Seattle, where he hit .237 in just 10 games. Burke has utility player written all over him, having played every position but catcher and pitcher in his career, and the Braves will place him at AAA as a possible Major League backup. He could be a better option than Diory Hernandez, at least for the present.
Here is a link to his career stats.

Didn’t he hit that home run against us in that 18-inning game that shouldn’t have been a homer? Or was that Ausmus?

I like this.
He’s hasn’t really been any good since ’06, but we just have no organizational depth in the high levels in MI whatsoever. He can probably do just as well as Hernandez and allow Hernandez to go down and play more.

I HATE YOU
Chris Burke. You crushed our hopes 3 years ago.
You know how the Pirates always show Sid Bream’s slid into home as the last time they made a playoff appearance? Well i can see it now:
2019 commercial:
Chris Burke hit a game winning HR in 2006 against the Atlanta Braves, the last time they made an appearance in the playoffs.

Burke, eh? Unfortunately we don’t play the A’s this year and Devine is out for the season anyway.

Does he look a bit like somebody farted in that room in that picture?
