Probably.

But....

Why not Gorman at second with an OF of Hurdy Gurdy, VSII, and Noot. Burly is not an mlb-caliber outfielder. His fWAR now sits at -0.1. That's not good.
Thank You
It can actually be a 2 week opportunity or more depending on NG results.

For the Cards, the Barrero's and Vilade's of the world are for injury fill. They're the tools
you use for the little events.

Wrist surgery for inflammation? Seems kind of dubious. Hope he's back soon. It's kind of crazy that most of us are lamenting his absence in the lineup. (Not you Scouty). At least you're consistent.

Oh, hell no! 8O 8O
Double h e l l no! :x

Donovan
VSII
Noot

Call up SAGGESE and play him at 2nd base!
Probably the thing to do for now. They could also speed Nathan Church's development along. He is not only a great fielder, but known first as a hitter. Let's see what he looks like in Memphis. Springfield numbers: .328 .371 .534 .905
Well Mo called up career minor leaguer R. Vilade/26 who is hitting better than Saggese.

Gorman "runway" has been impeded by the inability to trade Arenado. A lot of his peripheral stats have actually improved. I would be happy to see him get an opportunity. But they probably stick Burly out there.

Happy for Vilade but Saggese should have been the callup.

Has Koperniak been struggling? I don't keep up with the milb players like I should.

Correct.
Against RH pitching, Donovan to LF, Mootbaar to RF.

AAA stats since 01 May

.AVG .OBP .SLG .OPS PA
.357 .486 .571 1.057 70 Fermin (hasn't played since 22 May)
.305 .446 .390 .836 75 Torres
.250 .358 .475 .833 95 Vilade
.256 .341 .462 .802 93 Siani
.297 .346 .446 .792 81 Crooks
.150 .288 .433 .721 73 Baker
.244 .333 .384 .717 99 Saggese
.287 .311 .379 .690 90 Prieto
.216 .301 .378 .680 83 Koperniak

Saggese is the 7th best hitter of the AAA team starters.

IMHO, he needs to conquer AAA before coming to MLB.

Vilade is basically the best bat available from AAA. Torres was the other option... or perhaps Antico or Siani

There needs to be incentive to dominate in AAA and AA. I like it when they bring up whoever is hot recently.

His runway is also impeded by Oli's Burleson obsession. Gorman and his higher ceiling are continually benched for no glove Burleson and his whopping .733 OPS.

If losing JW for a spell causes a "bad time," Cards are a truly [shirt]ty team then
It might be a bad time if they deal with it by mismanaging or misusing the roster, exposing fatass too much in rightfield or giving too many ABs to Gorman. Makes no sense why Saggese isn't the corresponding call-up.

Not really, just a RH hitter...JW wasn't much of a hitter

Bring up Crooks so the Cardinals can have five catchers on the active roster.
