Between 2005-07, for instance, his OBP only deviated by 12 points from .388 to .400. Between '05-08, his SLG only deviated by five points between .502 and .507. As such, his OPS+ in the last four seasons has only deviated by six points, from 122 to 128. He may not be the offensive force that Manny Ramirez is, and he may not have the glove that Carlos Beltran has, but Burrell is among the most reliable players out there.

I love Pat, but in 2007 he was hitting .201 in late June, and after the All-Star Break in 2008 he hit .215. "The guy was nothing short of streaky with entire years of futility mixed with two month streaks of greatness." “The guy has been nothing short of awesome in his tenure in Philadelphia”
