He's horrible against righties and lefties.

Should be in the minors

He doesn't hit anybody very well.

Never going to hit from the bench. Young guys have to play.

In the minors, not the majors when you sport a 48 OPS+

I don't think he hits either particularly well.

I think he will hit both before long. Gorman might have a shorter leash. If they were doing what they said they would they would have moved Arenado and installed Gorman at third base. He would not have to hit much to be better than Arenado with the bat. He is a solid fielder at third, has an accurate arm. But with the current situation he should be sent to Memphis and start every day at third base and see if he can hit. They need Donovan at second every day in St. Louis, not a rotation between outfield and second base.
