Raleigh Burright  
Starting Pitcher | St. Louis Cardinals

Pitching
Burright throws a nice sinker... The rookies never seem to know when it's coming. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. The St. Louis Cardinals hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Burright is nothing special in the field. Burright is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Burright has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
If Burright doesn't perform, the St. Louis Cardinals won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The St. Louis Cardinals are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
