Not MLB Players
Walker
206 .270 .554
Gorman
.172 .275 .585
So how much longer do we need to see this? Going on years for both. They both have obvious holes in their swings so there’s no mystery why they don’t perform. Send them down to AAA and if they don’t over perform there for an extended period…..its over move on

Re: Not MLB Players
Scott was a similar case. Seems all teams have these guys. Where do we get a replacement level player. Walker defense is now an asset.Goldfan wrote: ↑04 May 2025 07:57 am Walker

Re: Not MLB Players
Scott is progressing along how a young developing player should. He just got a taste last season. We’re into years 3-4 with the other 2 and they’re regressingsikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑04 May 2025 07:59 amScott was a similar case. Seems all teams have these guys.

But if he improves any at all, and if he gets even better in right, he will be an asset.
Re: Not MLB Players
Cardinals are nothing more than a mid-major team striving for a participation trophy. Sad
Re: Not MLB Players
He can’t hit ML pitching consistently. This used to be a prerequisite to be in the ML. Players like both of them used to stay in the minors. Especially since neither had a real position. The only reason they were promoted is because this org needed desperately to prove they were advancing talentsikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑04 May 2025 08:24 amIt certainly does.alw80 wrote: ↑04 May 2025 08:22 amBut his bat makes him a negative asset.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑04 May 2025 07:59 amScott was a similar case.

I don’t think prove was the issue. Maybe need. Needed desperately to advance talent.Goldfan wrote: ↑04 May 2025 08:35 amHe can’t hit ML pitching consistently.

Re: Not MLB Players
Agreed send them all down….I don’t put Baker and Burly in same class as Walker/Gorman. Although for some reason Burly is somehow a starterrockondlouie wrote: ↑04 May 2025 08:55 am Baker

Re: Not MLB Players
Gorman and Walker are supposed to get “runway” this year. Let them play. Burleson and Baker don’t even have the potential to be impact starters in the big leagues. Gorman does. Let him play.Goldfan wrote: ↑04 May 2025 09:08 amAgreed send them all down….I don’t put Baker and Burly in same class as Walker/Gorman.

Re: Not MLB Players
Gorman seems to miss more hittable pitches than Walker whereas Walker seems to chase more than Gorman. Therefore I have more hope left for Walker.

Re: Not MLB Players
Scott was a guy rushed to majors due to 3 injuries to cf. While walker was arguably rushed to majors, this is now year 3. This is also now year 4 for gorman and hes clearly regressed in year 3 and 4 from year 2 and even from his first year.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑04 May 2025 07:59 amScott was a similar case.
