From John Fay's blog:
http://cincinnati.com/blogs/reds/201...ate-on-burton/Here’s a little good news on the pitching front: Jared Burton is in Goodyear, Ariz., throwing again.
Burton has been on the disabled list all year because of a lack of strength. He went through a battery of tests. But nothing turned up.
Well needed good news.

I'm glad he seems to be doing better. I was wondering what had happened with all those tests they were running on him.

An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
If Burton could get things together this year and pitch well it would be huge.
Some of the young guys the Reds keep throwing out there aren't getting the job done.If Jared has any success I'd look for him to replace Carlos Fisher very soon.Fisher has been terrible.
Elizabeth Taylor replaced Fisher with Burton.Originally Posted by Captain Hook
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
There was a lot of turnover in that rotation.
Big Klu and BCubb with two really funny lines. IIRC, Liz sent Burton to the minors and then took him back. Maybe there is another run in Jared.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
thank you for the best laugh of the day, so far!
This must be very funny but I don't get it.I must be too young.
Elizabeth Taylor was married to Eddie Fisher and dumped him for Richard Burton.
Didn't she bring Burton back on short rest for another appearance?
She used Bruton on back to back appearances. She used him as the long man out of the pen the first time then in short relief the next time out.
Also read yesterday (rotoworld?) that Bill Bray threw a simulated game yesterday and felt good. Reds are expecting him back in 6-8 weeks.

Anyone know what types of tests they ran on Burton? I had thought I heard he had thyroid disease (like Jose Reyes) but I might have heard it wrong.
Hope he gets back to full strength soon. I think I'd take Burton at full strength over Lincoln
