802 ops the past 30 games....MIDMOBIRDTWO wrote: ↑18 Aug 2025 20:20 pmHis walk led to a run earlier too.

People can say what they will about his 3rd base D as it's fairly atrocious, but he's actually a very serviceable 2nd basemen. And far more importantly, take what Gorman's done over his last 15 or 30, or probably even 45 games (beyond 30 not put together on his MLB page) and you'd be a fool not to take a full season's extrapolation of that all day every day. He'd be on pace for 40 home runs...Melville wrote: ↑18 Aug 2025 20:13 pmAll he needed was playing time.blackinkbiz wrote: ↑18 Aug 2025 20:10 pm2 HR off lefties in the last 3 days I think.MIDMOBIRDTWO wrote: ↑18 Aug 2025 20:07 pmHad him out of position for 3 years, he will improve the more he plays third.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑18 Aug 2025 20:03 pm5 errors this month that’s ugly
Play the unicorn!
Said it from day one.
Consider how much better the team could have been.
Maybe ole' "Soupy Sales" has been "right on" for a long time when posters like you were "asleep at the wheel".Cusecards wrote: ↑18 Aug 2025 20:15 pm Tell you what....Burleson probably catches more grief than he deserves due to all the obsessive threads from Soupy Sales.
But....you could easily live with him as a #6 hole hitter(especially against RH pitching).
Some combo 1 thru 5 of Donovan/Winn/JJ/Contreras/Herrera could be decent?
And if Arenado actually picked it up?????
Trade Noot(preferably for a RH bat or package for SP)
Gorman & Walker???
Scott ok in the #9 hole.
Hey....might as well think/dream positive under the circumstances! LOL
He is serviceable at 2B. Not exactly sure what his deal is making the throws from 3B??blackinkbiz wrote: ↑18 Aug 2025 20:33 pmPeople can say what they will about his 3rd base D as it's fairly atrocious, but he's actually a very serviceable 2nd basemen.

Since Oli stopped giving him like 8 at bats a week through the first 6-8 weeks, he might be the best hitter on the team since then. K's are down a little and walks are up a little and the power is definitely there.
Of course he'll likely fall into a Gormanesque black hole now that we're all expecting something...
