If we can't decide the full roster and fates of all prospects after one appearance, what are we even doing!

Currently the correct answer.
I hope STL does not regret trading him after the 2024 season, as I advised at the time.
High ceiling - but even higher risk factor.

Velocity hasn't been his issue since the shoulder issue - command has. He walked more than a hitter per inning yet again.
