Gorman/Walker Equivalents?

[opti mist]

If Gorman and Walker continue their current pace over this 500-bat MLB experiment and fall into the category, "maybe they could realize their full potential with a new club," who are some similar "busts" out there with other clubs that might be available in a trade? Maybe Bobby Miller of the Dodgers or Joe Adell of the Angels, Keston Hiura, last with the Tigers, Nick Senzel of the Nationals, Brendan Rogers of the Rockies, or maybe even Hunter Green of the Reds.

Are you categorizing Hunter Greene as a partial bust?

I consider him an equivalent to Walker.

Uhhh you haven’t been paying attention at all.

2024: 2.75 ERA 26 starts 1.02 WHIP 8th place in NL Cy Young
2025: 2.36 ERA 8 starts NL best 0.81 WHIP

In what universe is that similar to Walker?

I would say an equivalent for Gorman might be like Kyle Harrison of the Giants

Gorman = Joey Gallo

Walker = a sh!tt!er version of Jason Heyward...it's like he's swinging inside a phone booth

At their current paces, those two comps would be an exceptional achievement

Oh, splitting hairs?

I wish Gorman was Gallo.
He doesn’t even hit for power anymore.

Why?

Maybe if they had a Time Machine we could go back to the offseason after 2023 and swap them one for one.

This is Jo Adell's 6th season that the Angels have been waiting on him to pan out. I hope we don't waste as much time on Walker/Gorman.

…could also recover the part of opti’s brain that is stuck there, and return it to the present.

Nick Senzel
Lewis Brinson
Henry Davis
Alex Reyes
Nate Pearson

[TraveledLessRoad]

Alex Reyes was an absolute stud when actually healthy. Not a fair comp by any means

[opti mist]

hey, we had 90 responses to a post that essentially said they were equivalent to Skenes.

I was just trying to get some suggestions for similar "busts". Greene was listed, but really, I am trying to see who out there is similar and might benefit from a new team. Focus should not be on Greene but on the question of who.

Gorman is now a quarter of a century old. Walker has two more years to go.
