Burnes will be fine, he just needs to work on his fastball command for a few games in triple A, he's still the future.

Burnes has the stuff and natural talent to be a genuine ace, and I dont mean the guy who just happens to be our best pitcher like a Chacin or Gallardo. He's got 4+ pitches in his quiver and one of the best spin rates in the game. IMO his uneven performances were the result of a fastball heavy approach for a guy who was struggling to locate his fastball and of course batters who were just sitting on those fastballs and waiting for him to miss high over the middle of the plate. In spite of his struggles he looked very good at times. IMO its not a confidence issue, he just needs more seasoning as a starter. As for the Bullpen, thats a big no at this point of his career. We need him to turn into a future starter for us. Look at this movement boys, https://thumbs.gfycat.com/AmpleGlossyGermanwirehairedpointer-mobile.mp4

Gents, and ladies, first post on this forum. Anywho it's a different era now, partly because of Bud's reforms as the commish. Revenue sharing and the luxury tax have helped narrow the disparity between big and small markets. He also approved the Brewers move to the National League which IMO is kinder to small market teams without the DH. It is easier now to put a product worth watching on the field.
