He’s had that. It’s a matter of simply hitting the ball. If he hits it, it hurts.

You could promote Fermin, who is crushing AAA (again). He could use one more shot.

Yeah, I think Fermin is demonstrating that he should be in the majors. He’d give a tough AB every time and he’s difficult to strikeout.

No way you give up on Walker yet

Let's see what Bloom and Company can do w/him in 2026 first.

I'm more concerned about making contact. The home runs will come with time.

Good inputs. Here’s my view. Other teams see the value in Walker. I bet numerous teams have attempted to take him at reduc d costs. We just haven’t given in or up.

Little doubt the scavengers have been circling around Walker and Gorman hoping to pick them off for little return.

I want Bloom and company in 2026 to have full control and their shot at fixing both before dealing one or both.

The coaching that has produced Winn, Donovan, Scott, Nootbaar, Herrera, Palante, Liberatore?

To quote every John Denton column on Walker (and his tools):

"6'6" and 255 lbs"

Well you must be pleased with the way Walker has 'made contact' the last three weeks since the National series .
Walker is 7 for 21 .333 BA Yes, the HR's will come .
