He played in Major League Baseball for the Baltimore Orioles, Toronto Blue Jays and Pittsburgh Pirates and in the CPBL for the Lamigo Monkeys.
context_section_description: Burres was picked up on waivers by the Baltimore Orioles. Burres never cleared waivers, so the Orioles released him. Six days later, he was assigned to Triple-A Ottawa.
  He made his major league debut with the Orioles in 2006, but spent most of that season with AAA Norfolk. He was promoted to the Orioles for most of the 2007 season. Burres was named the fifth starter in the Orioles rotation to open the 2008 season, after a competition in spring training with teammate Matt Albers.
  In 2009, however, Burres was designated for assignment to make room for Rich Hill on the roster.
