"Sabean said he and his staff would discuss not only Burriss but also infielders Kevin Frandsen and Eugenio Velez during next week's winter meetings in Las Vegas. "
Like I said, they need power. So, Velez would be a better fit on a team with power. Any ball he hits the least bit slowly is gunna get him on base. Just too fast to throw out. Giants are retarded enough to give him away for a sandwich. You would think that the Dodgers or DBACKS would want that guy. They both lost multiple games due to this guy's ability to be a very tough out when you most need an out. He gives you 4 out innings late in games. No doubt, he has to improve defensively(which he is trying to do in Arizona right now..I think.) Somebody looking to improve team speed will pick him up. Chisox are pretty slow aren't they, Bob?
