Walker's hitting better last few games

[ramfandan]

Do you think with all these scouts out and about watching these games before deadline that Mo may get some trade calls on his availability ?
Your thoughts .
Should Cardinals keep JWalk or 'move him ' at deadline ?

so silly,walker is 23 and has been a huge disappointment thus far...trading him would be absolutely ridiculous because you would be giving away a kid who stil could be a star for nothing

[Ozziesfan41]

It depends on what you can get but no team is going to trade a top prospect for him based on short uptick

[boulanger]

his stance isn't so straight up as before is a difference I noticed. I'm hoping he can get to outside pitches better than before (and stop swinging at everything that is off the plate inside). I don't know why, as tall as he is, he doesn't come down even more.
standing so straight up the way he does, he never gets to the low outside pitch.

He's still lunging a little bit on outside corner pitches and he absolutely HAS to learn how to foul off pitches to give himself another chance at a mistake instead of watching strike 3. TBS, the new stance is SUCH an improvement. Far less pre-swing motion and without his hands being so high he's likely to cut down on those overhand slams into the dirt. 5 for his last 12 and a .500 OBP.

Man... if JWalk, Gorman, Burly, Winn, and Herrera could all post a 2+ WAR with at least a 110 OPS+ each these last 61 games I'd consider this season a total success. If all 5 of those could enter next year having finally tapped into their true potential of all being 5+ WAR players, that's a decent core for the future if you throw in Donny and compliment with Noot and VSII.

Sounds like a pipe dream at this point but it's still very possible.

It doesn't matter how many times you tell them

He looks more like Judge when he swings the bat. Just play him!

With the league knowing Mo's trade history, I would bet that a majority of the league has called asking about Walker's availability. It would be absolutely foolish to trade him. His cieling is still way higher than what they'd get in a trade.

Cards are probably gun shy to trade away potentially good players after seeing what happened with Arozarena, Alcantara, Gallen, Garcia, Thomas, etc.

Isn’t it a shame the that under MO the Cards have no one employed who can develop, nurture, teach, or even know if they have a prospect who has real talent……countless feckless names have been brought to ML club for “tryouts” under MO’s “gotta see what we have” and most have failed

[Bully4you]

What is he getting a few more singles?
I mean big, bad 6'5" 250 lb kid has to discombobulate his body to leg out a single.
Not impressed.

They just aren't that talented as players.

Drafting High schoolers, is a no no for me...can take too long to see what you have and they may run out of options before you do. This may be the case with JWs

making more contact.. step in the right direction

[smilinjoefission]

No one wants a 6-6/250 Pete Kozma type hitter, which is what Walker is right now. Scott has a higher slg% than Walker.

get Garcia and Thomas off that list and you might have a point

in 2x the AB's.. no one values Scott more than Walker
