Goldschmidt

[sikeston bulldog2]

Good enough for the Yankees, but not the Cardinals.

Cards in a rebuild. Yanks not. He was hired as a defensive replacement. Yanks have deeper lineup.

This rebuild is totally garbage. He would have been a great bat coming off the bench, a proven player who would have added leadership. Goldschmidt's return not only bolsters the Yankees' offense but also brings leadership to the clubhouse.

I thought he was the silent type, not a robust leader type.

You don't have to be vocal to be a leader type. You of all people should know that being in the military.

I think he does a great job of leading by example. If that’s the requirement by all means.

Isn't that what leadership is? I always thought so.

According to the U.S. Army, leadership is defined as the process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation to accomplish the mission and improve the organization.

Leading by example is indeed a leadership trait. As is enforcing the standard. As is seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions.

I think there are 12 of them in the military world.

Molina was a perfect example of leadership. He also was a quiet guy in the dugout.

I think Molina was much more vocal. If you want a leadership comparison to goldy, try arenado. Same boat.

I don't agree. But it really doesn't matter. One player can make it all about me and another doesn't and they don't have to say a word. Many managers in the past had the same personality at Goldschmidt. Gil Hodges is an example.

Same boat reference type of quiet personality. Let’s the bat and play do the talking. Not a knock.

Question: who on this team is a leader?

Who is the guy on this team to tell the young players you have had enough to drink, we have a game tomorrow.

Question: who on this team is a leader?

Now that’s a great question. Most like to use Pujols as a leader type comparison, a face to the franchise, you might say.

Let me ask you, when you think of the STL Cardinals, what player immediately pops into your head?

[earp]

No-youth only-do not need to learn all those bad habits from vets!
$5.00 contract?

[RamFan08NY]

Good enough for the Yankees, but not the Cardinals.

Horrible analogy. Apparently he wasnt good enough for 98% of the league?

You could say that for any free agent signing. How do we know what other teams were interested in Goldschmidt?

I guess it all depends on who all is out drinking together. Any one of them could say that. One thing I do think, Goldy would not be out drinking with them, so it probably wouldn't be him.

To include STL.
