Best case could be a change of scenery

Re: Concern for Gorman, Walker and Saggese as MLB hitters
I’m shocked by the lack of replies from the OP. Seems like an opportunity to have that “baseball discussion” he craves.
He’ll only reply to the snark. For those who bothered to make a serious reply, the most you’ll get is “good point” or “good post”.

Considering how some are struggling as MLB hitters. The Cardinals just might want to hang on to Donovan and Burleson for a while. Donovan, Burleson, Contreras, Herrera, Winn and Wetherholt are the offensive nucleus going into next season.

Gorman and Walker need a change of scenery.
Mo has destroyed them.
Saggesse was never going to be the figment that CT tried to make him.

Saggese should be hitting much better than he is now. Obviously, he is going to need to make some adjustments to the way MLB pitchers are attacking him.cardsrmyteam wrote: ↑09 Sep 2025 10:20 am Gorman and Walker need a change of scenery.

You just posted a thread three days ago saying the Cardinals should trade Donovan for pitching: viewtopic.php?p=13138831#p13138831

Substance and continuity are irrelevant. He’s got a quota to meet.NYCardsFan wrote: ↑09 Sep 2025 11:02 amYou just posted a thread three days ago saying the Cardinals should trade Donovan for pitching: viewtopic.php?p=13138831#p13138831

Gorman is not on the list but is still a problem because he cannot field a skilled position.
There are five above average hitters on the team and one (Fermin) has barely played enough to fall below average.
