Baez is off to a good start today
His hit raised the BA to .252. It would be nice, In the next month or so, for him to get the BA up to around .275/.280 with around 12 HRs. Ledbetter with a two run double. That's encouraging.

Torres with his 8th HR. He has a .348 BA and a .972 OPS. Yes, he could probably help the Cardinals.

I don't always respond, but I enjoy these posts with updates on our minor league guys. Saves me a lot of searching elsewhere. Thanks.

Re: Baez is off to a good start today
I realize many CT posters have an affinity for being negative. But, any so-called Cardinals fan that isn't excited about the possibility of adding this young power/speed combo to a position of need is simply "out to lunch".Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑06 May 2026 12:16 pmHim and Goldfan both obsessed with a guy who finally got his batting average up to .254 at AAAimetsatchelpaige wrote: ↑06 May 2026 12:15 pmGod, will you EVER STFup on Baez?

Re: Baez is off to a good start today
who's not excited? You jumped on our bandwagon. Trying play it off as You against Us....does making 2 Baez threads within an hour of each other make you the authority on Baez? Weren't you misspelling Baez as "Biaz" a few months ago?Shady wrote: ↑06 May 2026 12:21 pmI realize many CT posters have an affinity for being negative.

Something to note. Baez is playing centerfield in both games today.

7HR 20RBI 6SB. 250 .336 .836
This fella “He’s our starting CF and the team has no other options”. The next Vince Coleman has as many SB as The Man Who Is Not Named
1HR 5RBI 6SB…189, .253, .487
One might have to wonder if some CT posters want to WIN and have Good players……because they spend most of their login time shouting down those who do want to win and have good players in STL

Re: Baez is off to a good start today
Just curious, How is he defensively?
Arm? Does he cover a lot of ground? etc.

Re: Baez is off to a good start today
arm is slightly above average, not as good as Church. He covers a good portion of ground for a big guy. So...I give him a 50/80 on defense. Being that big, age will drop that to a 45, then 40... that's why he's described as a Corner OF.Francis Park Thug wrote: ↑06 May 2026 17:05 pm Just curious, How is he defensively?

Re: Baez is off to a good start today
yeah...and for a year or two he can man CF some. I wouldn't expect miracles from him in CF, but he's not going to embarrass himself...I don't think. If I have better options in CF, I'd use them, and move Baez to LF or RF....w/e. I don't really care who plays RF or LF...Walker's arm is a canon, so...probably he gets RFGoldfan wrote: ↑06 May 2026 17:09 pmSo he should suffice in LFcraviduce wrote: ↑06 May 2026 17:07 pmarm is slightly above average, not as good as Church.

"One might have to wonder if some CT posters want to WIN and have Good players……because they spend most of their login time shouting down those who do want to win and have good players in STL". Bingo, Goldfan. The negativity is rampant on Cards Talk toward Cardinals baseball and posters that try to be positive.Goldfan wrote: ↑06 May 2026 16:56 pmThis fella, “Don’t write posts about him, he’s not ready to hit a baseball”Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑06 May 2026 12:16 pmHim and Goldfan both obsessed with a guy who finally got his batting average up to .254 at AAAimetsatchelpaige wrote: ↑06 May 2026 12:15 pmGod, will you EVER STFup on Baez?
