Seriously, I love it when a young player struggles, then figures it out. Always good for their development.
Very few players never face adversity so it's good he has it now and learns to be internally tough. I mean there are a few guys who seem to never have it. Pujols never seemed to have a prolonged slump. A-Rod and Griffey Jr vaulting to the show at 19. But these are all freaks of nature.Monsieur De Treville wrote: ↑14 Apr 2025 06:59 amSeriously, I love it when a young player struggles, then figures it out. Always good for their development.
I can definitely see this kid in Memphis by July. Such a beautiful swing!
Maybe it's a cliche, but there's almost an art to learning how to work your way out of a slump. In my 60 years of watching Cardinal baseball, Pujols is the only player who never needed to do this. Truly, the machine. A close second was Ted Simmons. All he did was hit line drives and he rarely (if ever) went into a prolonged slump. Of course, my memory isn't what it once was, so there is that.AZ_Cardsfan wrote: ↑14 Apr 2025 07:24 amVery few players never face adversity so it's good he has it now and learns to be internally tough.

I'm hoping JJ plays well all year and gets a Sept taste of the show. Or maybe (fingers crossed) I get to watch him in AZ Fall ball.
Your memory is excellent. I also remembered Simba as being very consistent, and looked it up on his game logs - and the stats back it up. In his prime Cardinal seasons from 1971-80, he never had a hitless streak of more than 5 consecutive games, and he only had 3 of those streaks. Remarkable!! What a hitter he was, and I am so glad that he was finally enshrined in the HOF, where he absolutely belongs!Monsieur De Treville wrote: ↑14 Apr 2025 07:40 amMaybe it's a cliche, but there's almost an art to learning how to work your way out of a slump.

Saggese has had some decent power production in the past. Not sure if it is enough for a starting MLB 3B. He would definitely fit a utility role.
