ISO MOTO bat.

Post by Youboughtit »

Contreras had horrible power numbers in Busch 3 even before he was signed and it appears will not be a 30/100 guy moving forward

Walker is a good hitter but not a power guy

Gorman is a low BA strike out machine

Nolan never was that guy. He is a nice 3 or 5 hitter but now on decline

Donovan Seggese Winn Scott don’t broject as run producers

My question is Herrera “THE GUY”? It seems like without him we get on base and strand runners. He adds the RBI to the equation

Herrera looks the most like that guy --- he may already need to be the DH but if he is that guy that should bother no one.

Well Burleson is clearly not that guy. Can the Cardinals move on, please?

The offense has to string hits together to score. They'll have to back into power.

Burelson is not a run producer. He is a batt to ball specialist with limited speed. LH bats off the bench have value. The problem is Gorman in that equation. They are exact opposite hitters. Gorman is all power and high Ks and Burelson is contact with low Ks but neither should play the field.

Burleigh is barely MLB caliber wish they would move on. Rather see them give Gorman PT at DH.

in 1930 we scored 1004 runs, with only 72 SBs. The lineup was all hit, no base speed.

I like the bats except the thump in the MOTO. They need a Judge type. I would have tried for Alonso last off season. Reasonable
Price for a legit run producer

His advanced metrics are good. He’s fine as a role player. Just not going to be a MOTO star
