That's a plain stupid attitude. I hope you are at least pleased that I was right about Burleson. You and many other self-appointed baseball wizards here weren't. If that's the case, I hope the so called "Shady hex" works as well on Roby as it did on Burleson. You are a fricken' joke.

I heard the DonkeyPunchMan agrees with Shady on this topic so he must be right.

Their lack of hitting evolution is their kryptonite, neither ever adjusts their swings planes (as opposed to Donovan, Burleson, Winn and Scott who have made significant strides/improvements). Not sure Walker or Gorman have any Baseball IQ either

That's the difference in those that can and those that cant
It kind makes one appreciate a player like Burleson who wasn't so highly acclaimed developing like he has.

And Shady was one of the very few here that was right on about Burleson's hitting potential. As I recall. There were a lot of negative "Regurgitator" baloney coming from the anti-Burleson crowd, too. Who was right?

It would be interesting to hear the DonkeyPunchMan thoughts on this. Get after it.

Legit question:
Who on CT isn’t pleased that Burleson is hitting well???

Middy didn't offer an opinion this OP that has drawn some good some good discussion. He's too busy trying to be a "Goon Squader" against me. What a stud !

I’ve posted multiple honest opinions on how to handle Walker & Gorman.
This is your OP.
How do YOU think they should be handled??
And be SPECIFIC.

Middy, where was your brain for the last three years constantly slamming Burleson? My brain had it figured out. Yours was AWOL.

In regard to your Gorman suggestion. A reason it makes sense is the fact that two very good players in the organization, Saggese and Wetherholt, are on the way.

Wetherholt or Donovan can take over at 3b at some point.
Do either of them have the arm?
Donovan has played some 3b. His arm is adequate i guess. Wetherholt has played SS, so I assume he has a decent arm.

But I get what you are saying. And I don't disagree on that front. Gorman has the arm for 3b. But can he field decently?
