Walker and Gorman issues - Will they get fixed soon?

[82birds]

Today is May 11th .. I would say Walker and Gorman have 8 weeks to show some improvement. That would then be Jul 11 th (2 months from today ).
The July 31st trade deadline day would be 20 days later.
If neither or both show no signs of improvement, they could be trade bait by Mo/Bloom . Option B would be to keep them both thru August /September see where they are at the end of year, then make a move in the offseason (winter meetings ) .
Gorman seems to be in more jeopardy as the organization has two infielders .. Thomas Saggese and in another year JJ Wetherholt on the rise.
Of course , a trade of Arenado would open 3rd base that could help Gorman.

As for Walker in the OF, the Cardinals currently don't have any youngsters pushing from the minors . Some suggest converting Herrera to OF .

I just cannot see that. JMO

Neither show the intelligence to make the improvements necessary.

You don't know it's intelligence, could be skill. Keep doing as you do, assuming reasons for lack of production. Sad....sad

Aren't we all assuming?

A guys swing is a guys swing. They've had fit rom t-ball to now. You can try to make little adjustments, but it's almost impossible to totally erase their mechanics. They can try; send him down to the Gulf Coast League and assign a hitting coach to literally teach him the basics again which would will take months. Then if you have his new swing, then you have to get game action and start the climb again from the minors for actual game action. It depends on how much the Cardinals think if he can be a productive hitter.
