Donovan should be starting at shortstop and winn needs to be
Sent to minors to fix his hitting he is completely lost at plate.If you send walker and gorman down winn is no exception.You have to have some production from shortstop, I will take a hitting shortstop who makes the regular plays than one who can't hit and makes an outstanding play on defense occasionally.This just didn't start with his bad at bats it was all during spring training to.

I think we should all chip in and send the OP on a couples cruise with Bully4you.
If we collect enough they can reserve a suite and bring Web7!

Re: Donovan should be starting at shortstop and winn needs to be
There is a big difference in sending Winn down versus sending Gorman or Walker down. Defense actually is better when Gorman and Walker are not playing. Winn plays one of the most demanding positions SS and there is a drastic fall off from him to Donovan at SS. Set Winn for a game or two but they really need his defense.Kentucky kid wrote: ↑31 Mar 2025 21:59 pm Sent to minors to fix his hitting he is completely lost at plate.If you send walker and gorman down winn is no exception.You have to have some production from shortstop, I will take a hitting shortstop who makes the regular plays than one who can't hit and makes an outstanding play on defense occasionally.This just didn't start with his bad at bats it was all during spring training to.

So you can't have a shortstop who can play defense and actually hit.
Re: Donovan should be starting at shortstop and winn needs to be
Brendan Donovan is not a major league SS no range and weak arm but whatever, all other SS are in Memphis
As for Winn, his hitting woes are due to poor hand positioning thru the swing, he is swinging under 90% of pitches he is missing, when he said he was swinging for fences late last year, that was a red flag and he screwed up his swing

Re: Donovan should be starting at shortstop and winn needs to be
The Cards had one last year his name was Winn. They don't have one on the roster that can play good defense at SS and hit so far. Which you need to have good defense at SS.Kentucky kid wrote: ↑31 Mar 2025 22:07 pm So you can't have a shortstop who can play defense and actually hit.

Re: Donovan should be starting at shortstop and winn needs to be
He's great defensively KY. It's too early to send him down. They do need a true SS though if they have to send him down. No moves necessary yet though. Game 5 or 162 is tomorrow...Kentucky kid wrote: ↑31 Mar 2025 22:07 pm So you can't have a shortstop who can play defense and actually hit.

Nobody is getting sent down, the kids play during the great RESET.

Re: Donovan should be starting at shortstop and winn needs to be
Winn is the correct choice at SS for now
Offensively, he needs a reset.
Developed bad habits, got homer happy late last year.
I think Winn can correct this and spray the ball like early to mid last year but somebody needs to get thru to him asap

Re: Donovan should be starting at shortstop and winn needs to be
Someone needs to talk to him to tell him he doesn’t need to hit 30 homers and steal 30 bases to be a star. He said he worked on his strength and speed this off-season. He’s trying to hit a homer every at bat with every swing it appears.
Last year he was one the best 2 strike hitters in baseball as he fought off tough pitches and focused on putting the ball in play. He needs to go back to that approach. I think all the talk of being a super star like Witt of Henderson got into his head. He’s not that type of player.

LMAO
4 games into the season and call for player to be sent to Memphis.
The Brewers have scored 14 runs in their 4 losses.
I guess they should send 7 or 8 starters to AAA Nashville.

Re: Donovan should be starting at shortstop and winn needs to be
The Brewers should send their starters to Nashville all right. Every starting pitcher.

Me too. Think of all the nice photos they’ll post for us when they return!
