Burgess hitting below Mendoza Line: Cubs OF prospect Michael Burgess carried a .193 average into Monday's game for Class A Daytona. He does have nine homers and 38 RBI in 58 games, but Burgess hasn't hit higher than .211 in a month this season and hit a season-low .175 in 28 May games. (Updated 06/13/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
Burgess came over to Chicago as part of the Tom Gorzelanny trade in January. He was a supplemental first-round pick in 2007, but Burgess hasn't hit well in the minors and strikes out a lot. He has shown decent home run power, but there is a reason he has played only 21 games above Class A in his career. Burgess should be ignored in all Fantasy formats since he might never make it to the majors at this pace. (Updated 06/13/2011).
