Newsbreakers
October 14, 2009
The Milwaukee Brewers have outrighted pitcher Mike Burns to Triple-A Nashville, according to the Twitter page of beat writer Tom Haudricourt. Burns was 3-5 with a 5.75 ERA in 15 games with the team last season.
Our View:
Burns didn't have the most success this year with the Brewers, but he was dealing with a shoulder issue toward the end of the year. Expect the Brewers to make it a point to upgrade their rotation during the offseason, so Burns likely isn't in the plans as a starter next year.
September 18, 2009
Mike Burns has been recalled by the Brewers from Triple-A Nashville, according to TSN.
Our View:
Burns holds a 6.10 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 48.2 innings of relief with Milwaukee this season. He does not merit fantasy consideration.
August 27, 2009
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that the Brewers have sent right-hander Mike Burns to Triple-A Nashville.
Our View:
Burns was bumped to make room for Dave Bush, who was activated from the 15-day DL, and he was an easy choice for a demotion with his 6.10 ERA and 1.57 WHIP.
August 15, 2009
Mike Burns had a solid outing in Saturday's 6-2 win over Houston at Miller Park, as he only allowed two earned runs on four hits over seven innings. He had three walks and fired seven strikeouts.
Our View:
Burns looked good tonight, but carries a poor 5.36 ERA for the season, and is only an option for deeper fantasy leagues.
August 2, 2009
Mike Burns gave up three earned runs on nine hits over 5.2 innings in Saturday's 4-2 loss at San Diego. He had one walk and three strikeouts.
Our View:
Burns is 2-4 with a poor 6.06 ERA, and is only worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues if he is slated to make another spot-start for Milwaukee.
July 31, 2009
According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the Brewers have recalled starter Mike Burns from Triple-A.
Our View:
Burns may be used to start in place of Jeff Suppan on Saturday, but his position is uncertain now that the Brewers have acquired Claudio Vargas from the Dodgers. Burns went 2-3 with a 7.20 ERA in five starts between June and July.
July 27, 2009
Mike Burns will no longer start for the Brewers on Tuesday night, and has been optioned to Triple-A Nashville, according to the team. No announcement has been made on who will make his start.
Our View:
Burns has been unimpressive in seven appearances (five starts) for the Brewers this season, logging a 6.30 ERA and .311 batting average against. R.J. Swindle will take his spot on the roster.
July 20, 2009
Mike Burns was roughed up for six runs (four earned) on six hits over three innings in Monday's 8-5 loss at Pittsburgh. He had two walks and three strikeouts.
Our View:
He falls to 2-3 with a 6.21 ERA, and is only an option for deeper fantasy leagues following tonight's terrible showing.
July 16, 2009
Mike Burns will get another start on Monday as Dave Bush continues to struggle with arm fatigue, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Our View:
In five appearances for the Brewers this season (four starts), Burns has a 5.54 ERA and a 19-to-7 strikeouts to walks ratio. He struck out seven and allowed only three runs in five innings against the Dodgers powerful lineup his last time out, so he could be worth a spot start on Monday if you need somebody to go.
July 11, 2009
Mike Burns allowed three earned runs on six hits over five innings in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Dodgers at Miller Park. He had no walks and fired seven strikeouts.
Our View:
Burns bounced back fine from his last outing, when he was rocked for seven runs at Chicago. He is only worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues for his next start.
July 5, 2009
Mike Burns was lit up for seven earned runs on nine hits over a mere 4.2 innings in Sunday's 8-2 loss at the Cubs. He had one walk and three strikeouts, and was tagged for two homers.
Our View:
Burns suffered his second loss over three starts, with his worst outing coming today. He should only be considered in deeper fantasy leagues for his next trip to the mound.
June 30, 2009
Mike Burns issued two earned runs on five hits over 6.2 innings in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mets at Miller Park. He has one walk and two strikeouts.
Our View:
Burns fared well tonight, and notched the first win of his career. He bounced back fine after giving up four runs in his last outing against Minnesota.
June 25, 2009
Mike Burns made his first start in his 47th career appearance on Thursday, pitching 5.2 innings and surrendering four earned runs as the Brewers fell to the Twins 6-5.
Our View:
Burns walked three and fanned three. It wasn't an exceptional start, but also not a terrible one. He could get more starts while Manny Parra works on his mechanics in the minors, and is not an awful spot starting option.
June 23, 2009
Mike Burns has been recalled from Triple-A Nashville to take the roster spot of Dave Bush, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday with arm fatigue.
Our View:
Burns is scheduled to start Thursday against the Minnesota Twins. He has thrown only four major league innings since 2006, so take a wait-and-see approach before you decide whether or not he could be worth a spot start in the future.
June 9, 2009
Mike Burns has been optioned to Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers, according to TSN.
Our View:
Burns fared well while providing depth in the Brewers' pen as he did not allow any runs over four innings, but he was sent back down to the minors with Mark DiFelice activated from the bereavement list.
June 2, 2009
RP Mike Burns has been recalled from AAA Nashville to take the roster spot of recently released pitcher Jorge Julio, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Our View:
Burns was pitching well in AAA as a starter, going 6-2 with a 2.98 ERA. However, in 45 career major league appearances with three different teams he has a lifetime ERA of 5.88. He is not a viable fantasy option until further notice.
