[musicman]

Second and third ,one out and these 2 knuckleheads can't produce.They are useless,why can't we find anyone else to play?

They really are bad. And how long do they get to prove it.

Gorman can hit home runs.

[musicman]

The only thing

[Cusecards]

When Gorman shows plate discipline and hits the ball the other way you’ve really got something.
Noot....he needs to be dealt!

Gorman can hit home runs.

And line drives through the infield against the shift in a critical moment which transforms a game.....

Based on CT input, its truly hard to believe that MLB can't seem to produce a. 400 hitter, or at least a .350.

MLB average BA is .240. Both Noot and Gorman aren't much different than a majority of major leaguers.

The trouble is, Gorman was supposed to be much much better than average as a top prospect. And he's not.

He has 210 PA's this year - which is about 1/3 of a season.
He is on pace for a full season rate of 24 HR, 81 RBI, 81 runs scored, and 51 XBH's.
He is a LH hitting 2b who can also play 3b.
That is MUCH better than "average".
Every team in MLB would be thrilled with that.

[ilcubuffs]

Projections are NOT reality. They are basically a "what if".

He is NOT going to bring 24 HR and 81 RBi's this year or next or when ever.

It is like waiting for Santa Claus to come down the chimney, even if I do not have a chimney, to prove he exist.

On pace is a laugh. Come on, get out of here with that stuff. It ain't going to happen. He's not getting 630 PAs.

Agreed. I like it when hes in the lineup. Unfortunately, unless moves are made, finding enough PT will be difficult.

You're right. Projections are pretty much just that. Guesstimates. With that said, i think if he played 145 games he'd be a 25 hr guy.

PA's are controlled by the front office.
He won't get 630 PA's this year - but that that his doing.
Data says STL should have kept their original commitment to get him 600+ PA's.

I wouldn't mind seeing Nootbaar and Walker traded.
