Ellis Burks  
Center Fielder | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
Burks never has been a patient hitter. Burks always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Burks doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a handful of bases each season without getting caught very often. When you play Burks you're not putting him in for his glove. His arm is accurate enough.

2010 Outlook
If Burks doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors.
