Woo: Alec Burleson is our trade piece
The Cardinals organization has done a considerable job in bolstering their overall depth. St. Louis has relied heavily on their rookie class this year and has shown little hesitance to promote those in Triple A like Nolan Gorman, Brendan Donovan and Juan Yepez, who have shown they are ready.
Alec Burleson, an offensive-first outfielder who is hitting .343 with 15 homers and a .967 OPS for Triple-A Memphis, is showcasing that same readiness level. Yet with an outfield populated by Tyler O’Neill, Harrison Bader and Dylan Carlson, and Donovan and Yepez serving as reserves, there doesn’t seem to be a roster spot available for him.
Burleson is a top-10 prospect. He has enough offensive upside for other organizations to be intrigued, and he could be a key name should the Cardinals decide to buy at the deadline. — Katie Woo
