The Chicago Cubs bring back Kyler Burke
The Cubs have re-signed 24-year old lefty reliever/starter Kyler Burke to a minor league deal. Burke pitched in 27 games (19 starts) in A-ball last year and he was 3-9 with 1 save, a 3.44 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. He has now pitched in 43 games (19 starts) in his first two years as a pitcher in the minors and he is 5-10 with 3 saves, a 3.30 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. Burke has only been pitching in the minors for two years as he is a converted outfielder, so the Cubs have high hopes for him down the road.
