Leave Saggese where he is getting AB’s!
Bring him up for Walker or Gorman, Take your choice. Saggese is a much better hitter than either of those two, right now. Oli could get Saggese plenty of at bats.
They need to find out for sure about Walker and Gorman.
Saggese is a prospect to watch but for the love of God enough with your overblown infatuation.
Saggese is fine where he is.....it’s effing May 12th!!!!!
"Saggese is a prospect to watch but for the love of God enough with your overblown infatuation". Check Walker's, Gorman's and Saggese's batting averages for the Cardinals this season. Doesn't that give you a hint, smarty?
You have zero clue what you are talking about per usual.
Your entire “act” is to promote prospects that you have zero knowledge of.
You must have a dartboard at home with names on it?
Get off your high horse. You aren't quite the baseball wizard you think you are. Your posts on this thread are prime examples. I can get just as nasty as you, if need be, hotshot.
Wait...I thought I was the hotshot and Cuse was the gangbanger? So confusing....
I think he has a dartboard and a parrot as the basis for these threads?
Would explain a lot!
Hey Richard. You said you haven't seen Arnold pitch. Seems like a brilliant baseball wizard like you could have considered checking YouTube. Get with it, RH.
Watching a few highlights on YouTube is not the same as watching someone play a game or games. I'd explain more but it would just be over your head. Sorry.

Burleson was a much better hitter against minor league pitchers too. Now he sucks.

Herrera has 5 HRs in 31 ABs on pace for 100 Hrs over his next 620 ABs spaning this year and next. :D

Why Arenado at cleanup instead of Herrera? Somebody please try to explain.

Ok, Sagesse up, but only if it's Burly going down. That way Oli can't have him at DH instead of HERRERA!!!

I'm not sure what role Burleson will play for the remainder of the season. But he's not the player to send down. Many CT posters still don't understand that Oli has tremendous respect for Burly. Burleson hasn't hit to his capabilities this season, as yet. But he will get some key hits to help win some games. The Cardinals know that.

Can you provide a link to Oli professing his respect for Burleson? I'm sure it exists. I can't wait to read it.

Thanks.

A true baseball guru should be able to figure this out by how often Oli pencils Burleson into the lineup vs RHP. As well as past interviews with Oli discussing Burleson.

sure....and the Link? Where is it? I'd like to read that article, and see these Interviews where Oli gushes about his respect for Burleson, and how this proves that Burleson belongs with the Cardinals.

Thanks

I can't wait to read and view these links!!!

Don't deflect with immature, senseless name calling. It's not needed here

Not feeling it with Gangbanger.
Definitely not Nitwit.
Maybe we can trade off names periodically?

Has been a huge improvement for the TEAM to have VS2 replace Siani as the CF so far this season.
Could be a huge improvement for the TEAM to have Herrera as the almost fulltime DH vs. sharing it with Burly.
Given the opportunity Baker might outproduce Burly, or provide similar low value to the team.
But you're right, don't send Burly down, instead TRADE him for someone who might help this team now or later on.

No, many CT posters don't care if Oli has tremendous respect for Burly. Again, he's a one-tool player and that one tool isn't very good.

And what exactly are the "capabilities" of a hitter with well over 1,000 MLB at bats who has a career .704 OPS and 94 OPS+? These numbers would indicate his ceiling is average to slightly below average "capabilities".

That's RESPECT. Sock-it-to-me
