You're not wrong

Thats like saying which turd smells best. Since Gorman and Walker have been stinking it up at the major league level over more opportunities I will go with Saggese. He still is a turd but that turd has not been laying around as long.

The only one who I could see doing anything great would be Gornan but he would have to cut down his strikeouts a lot. He is running out of time. His back could be an issue this year and his entire career.

I have given up on Walker. Saggese is a bench guy.

Let's see how Saggese progresses given the amount of ABs both Gorman and Walker have gotten.

Pitiful threesome but In Order:

1- N. Gorman (Starting 3rd baseman)
74 HR
.719 OPS career
99 OPS+

2- J. Walker (Should start at Memphis instead of being in RF)
27 HR
.680 OPS career
88 OPS+

3- Saggese (Has no starting position, J.A.G.)
3 HR
.628 OPS career
78 OPS+

Hmm. That didn’t stop you from declaring Gorman “the next Eddie Mathews” and comping Walker to “Frank Robinson” before either of them had a meaningful number of ABs. I mean, you’ve already comped Saggese to “Steve Garvey” and “Jeff Bagwell,” so why the sudden shift to urging patience to “see how Saggese progresses”?

All three will blossom at the same time, this year.
Saggese turns into a Brendan Donovan light. .280, .350, 15 hrs.
Walker puts up a 30/20 season and begins to move up in the lineup.
Gorman blasts 35 homers and cements himself as the DH.

Saggs for sure!

How many ML PAs has Saggese had, rock. And how old was he when he reached the majors?

I’d love to see Walker bust loose. Gorman probably leads in HR. Saggese probably all around steady performer. I wonder if Saggase plays enough.

Man, if Gorman hits 74 home runs he’d be MVP.

He's had 347 PA's which is NOT a small sample size, w/ an anemic .628 OPS and only 3 HR's.

He'd be a DISASTER if he's the starting 3rd or 2nd baseman, the joke of MLB.

J.A.G.

That's career numbers for all three.
