Rock and Scouty have a good idea. But it only works if Gorman and Walker will follow the coaching. And if they dont revert back to old habits when/if they get back to StL. Its not like the current major league staff has helped either.

What young prospect would have taken their place to start the season then???? 8O
Doesn't matter.
Sure it does. Still need to fill out an MLB roster.

Just a lazy post...typical.
I agree. You made your usual lazy gothcha reply.
You don't think someone/anyone on the 40 man couldn't have filled those spots? :roll:
Not anyone we needed too. But i'm not the lazy one...you are. You threw spaghetti at the wall.

tiring when it's just (bleep) or they should do this "generic thing (get a player/someone else could play there) without spelling any of it out
Hey, they weren't good enough this spring to be on the 26 and should have been optioned to AAA.
That's all I said. Is that really so hard for you to understand?

C. Bloom's minor league player development system is now in place.

If they show big improvement, then they can earn their way back to St. Louis.

If not, then cut the cord and move on at seasons end.

Bloom has no skin in the game w/these two who's failures are tied to Mo.
Great idea, Rock.
Thx HH

Take the pressure off these two and see if Bloom's people can salvage one or both.
If Blooms people can install strike zone recognition and some non-bailout front foot tech into their bodies perhaps they have a shot… :lol: :lol:
How many years do we need to see lack of ability to adjust and them only being comfortable hitting with how they’ve always hit…..which doesn’t translate to MLB

Agreed. They cost nothing and still have options. They have no value to any other club now, Cards might as well put them in the minors. Let them develop there vs MLB.

Both came straight out of high school. May just need a touch more time.

if at the end of the year they still suck...move em.

No (bleep) later if they are moved and excel... :lol:
Agreed

Time for both to sink or swim, starting at Memphis is the right move for them.

But you know if they flounder, are dealt and do well w/their new teams then some yahoo's in here will roast Bloom.
Im going to agree with Scouty thru a second party. I dont feel like getting cussed out for some reason.

2026 is it GF (IMO)

But neither had the advantage of these new minor league systems/coaches.

If they don't show real improvement, then move on.

I know high school coaches who would’ve corrected or benched Gorman/Walker for how they’ve been allowed to hit…..How anyone with a MLB uni could promote and think they would perform is insane
Gorman had very open stance and stepped in the bucket about 80-90% of time. Walker was up on front toe with open stance and falling open about 60-70% of his swings. They both require that one perfect pitch for their swings in order to have chance of getting a hit. Thus .200BA
