The Dodgers announced Monday that Burriss will join the organization as the hitting coach at Triple-A Oklahoma City, signaling the end of the 36-year-old's playing days.

ANALYSIS
Burriss had actually been in line to serve as Oklahoma City's hitting coach in 2020 before the cancellation of the minor-league season. The switch-hitting infielder's last professional action came in 2017 at Triple-A Syracuse in the Nationals organization. Prior to that, Burriss appeared in parts of seven big-league seasons from 2008 through 2016, slashing a collective .237/.300/.266 with one home run and 41 stolen bases in 326 games between the Giants, Nationals and Phillies.

2014 Nationals Team Preview: Beast Of The East

Despite falling well short of expectations in 2013 and losing their manager to retirement, the Nationals are again the heavy favorites in the NL East. Is this the season Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg break through and reach their true potential?

Burriss split time between Fresno and San Francisco during 2012, hitting .213/.250/.221 in 150 plate appearances for the Giants. While he has the ability to play some outfield and play most of the infield positions, Burriss does not play any position particularly well. Signed by the Reds to a minor league deal, Burriss is a putrid offensive player with a .263 wOBA though he has enough speed to be a considered an effective pinch runner. A career 61 percent groundball rate helps to explain his below average BABIP, and it is unlikely he will see significant major league time in 2013.

Burriss saw limited time with the Giants last season, and when he played, it was ugly (.204/.253/.212). He fared better in the minors, posting a .386 OBP with 24 steals over just 175 at-bats, but it came in the hitter-friendly PCL league as a 26-year-old. His speed makes him somewhat intriguing as a fantasy player, but Burriss possesses zero power. He projects to make the Giants this year as a utility infielder.

After a broken foot delayed his 2010 debut, Burriss hit .278 over 273 at-bats in Triple-A Fresno. His activity on the basepaths was underwhelming (11-for-16 on stolen-base attempts), and his power was non-existent (.333 SLG). With the left side of the Giants' infield unsettled, there's a chance Burriss enters 2011 with the big club as a utility player, but he offers little to no value in fantasy leagues.

Burriss was given the opportunity to win the Giants’ second-base job last year, but he failed miserably, hitting just .238 with zero homers over 202 at-bats. After getting sent down to Triple-A, his season ended in July with a fractured foot. San Francisco has since addressed its middle-infield situation by trading for and later signing Freddy Sanchez to an extension, so Burriss’ role will be as a utility man at best. More likely, he’ll spend most of 2010 in the minors.

Burriss finished the 2008 season with a .283 batting average and 13 steals over 240 at-bats. That was accompanied by just eight extra-base hits, but he did post an impressive 24:23 K:BB ratio as well. After the Giants signed Edgar Renteria to a two-year deal, Burriss will have to compete with Kevin Frandsen and Eugenio Velez for the starting job at second base, but he should be considered the favorite. His ability to steal bases gives him some fantasy potential.

Burriss has decent on-base ability and blazing speed, but whether that translates into him becoming a future regular remains up in the air. He has a good glove at shortstop but lacks in the power department, hitting no home runs and collecting only 20 extra-base hits in 504 at-bats in the minors last year. However, he did steal 68 bases, so there is some fantasy upside in the making. At 23, the switch-hitting Burriss is still young, so there's plenty of time for improvement.
