That's probably about what I'd do, except sub Walker for Church. If I were calling the shots, Walker wouldn't be within 200 miles of STL.
For sure but we both know strum that Oli's going to write in "Walker".
If it was me, then I'd start him at Memphis.
And so what does Bloom/Oli do with Walker and the spin after he’s lucky to be hitting .200 after a month. That seems a worse predicament then starting at AAA
Bloom doesn't have any skin in the game w/Walker (or Gorman) who are both on Mo's resume.
Hopefully after being given a final fair shot (they're going to give it, I wouldn't and it will be more than a month) he cuts the cord and moves on mid season if Walkers hitting .200 the end of June.
By that time he'll also have a solid handle on how J. Baez is doing at AAA.
If he's tearing it up while Walker is scuffling, then it's an easy call to flip them........at least let's hope so.

If Walker is floundering badly through June…..then the FO is sabotaging the MLB team…..knowing he was bad last season and through ST. This is what pisses me off about last FO and maybe this one. The primary directive should be to win as many MLB games as possible….not playing games with service time, Arb, options, or babying borderline projects.

Hey I'd have J. Walker at Memphis but good ole Oli has made it clear he pushed hard for him to be here.

did you see our off season? We are not trying to win as many MLB games as possible!

Cmon, Rock ! You are a fine Cardinal fan and CT poster . You can learn to spell Ivan's last name correctly .. two R's ..then one R at the end ..
Herrera
And instead of V how about Velazquez two Z's , Rock ! Velazquez momma would be very proud of you ! You're the man, Rock ! Go Cardinals!
PS Feel sorry for JJ Wetherholt
He gets a ton of misspellings , such as :
Wetherholdt
Weatherholt
Whetherholt
and a few more lol
Whither Holt will be a pertinent question come opening day.
Quite possible.
Perhaps even likely.
But The Marmot likes to play head games with players.
Herrera at catcher on opening day to continue the pretense that he is under consideration for the role?
Thereby allowing Velazquez at DH, which is his best position.
Allowing for Church or Saggese in LF.
Then again, The Marmot will doubtless rely on head-to-head career matchup history for each STL player against Rasmussen - even if there are just one or two plate appearances to rely upon.
