Me: Double-A Akron right-handed reliever Cory Burns is an interesting prospect. After finishing second in all the minors last year with 42 saves in combined time at Low-A Lake County and High-Kinston last year (1.96 ERA, 2.3 BB/9, 13.3 K/9), he is once again shutting the door on opponents and closing out Akron wins this year. In 10 appearances for Akron he is 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA and 8 saves, and has some impressive peripheral numbers with just 1 walk allowed and 20 strikeouts in 9.0 innings of work.
When people see a strikeout rate like Burns
