Walker getting BETTER in OF??

Post by Principal1 »

I thought he was an absolute butcher last night. & it also looked like he was dogging it a bit on those fly balls. Maybe he's figuring out the hype that he plays no matter what. If Oli can call out O'Neill, I hope he has a bit of a "discussion" with Mr. Walker! :x

It is embarrassing to watch him play RF, he is absolutely timid, poor breaks, poor angles, lack of hustle.

They talked about Walker? When I was tuned in all I did was talk about food. Thompson is just terrible. When chip is paired with someone else, they talk about baseball. Yeah, Walker is an enigma. I would trade him if possible in the off season. If he blossoms somewhere else so be it.

Walker looked better in RF earlier in the year. Now not so much despite what the announcers say.

Same discussion with Herrera. Can't have DH only players. We have 4 DH's. Walker, Gorman, Herrera, Burleson. Keep the RH and LH bat that can hit and stay healthy.

Open up 3B and even 1B. Get Herrera viable in LF. Walker and Gorman rain enigmas. Decide on how much more patience to have.

There are not a whole lot of power bats coming up through the system. You want these to work. But when it's time to cut bait, Bloom has to do it.

Walker
-3 OAA

Bumbles
-3 OAA

RF defense is a real problem when Noots not out there.
