Burns' attacking style at the plate allowed him to lead the league in hits (80)
and doubles (20) while placing in the top five in several other categories. The
former Northern State (S.D.) running back packs a muscular 185 pounds onto his
5-foot-8 frame and resembles a young Kirby Puckett. He hits to all fields and
shows power but tends to hack at nearly everything.
"When Mr. Doubleday invented the rules, he gave you three strikes," Smith said,
"and Deacon uses all of his."
Burns exudes energy and is a smart player, but those attributes aren't enough
to overcome his below-average defensive skills. He played both outfield corners
and spent a lot of time at DH. His defensive limitations, raw tools and
relatively advanced age (21) limit his ceiling, but his bat could carry him to
the majors.
