I saw Baez rated highly on a prospects traded list

Post by Shady »

Not sure why Jordan was not. At 22, he seems to have some good potential pop. I did see the Cardinals got an A- grade in the trade for Jordan by one pundant.

If there’s anyone I trust implicitly, it’s a pundant.

How about sharing that link? Who was the pundant?

It was a pendant. One he got out of a gumball machine cause it was all shiny. Wears it proudly around his neck.

ESPN gave the Cards an A- for the Helsley trade and a C+ for the Blaze Jordan trade. There seems to be a consensus that long term he is a first baseman- not much athleticism and the physique of a beer leaguer.

Sounds like a replacement for Luken Baker. Unathletic, seems to be able to hit. Hopefully, this was Mo's choice and not a reflection of how Chaim thinks.

I think Bkaze was a lottery ticket pick. You cant really teach power, but you can teach getting in shape. . There's a lot of clumsy power hitters in the game. You never know!!

But the important question is was the pundant wearing a pundit around his neck?

Or the "pundant" waving the pennant.

Keep beating the drums. You and the Cardinals may get lucky someday. Question: Who was the last prospect the Cardinals traded for, and he made a difference on the Cardinal Major League team in the last 10 years?

And very young. Hope Baez makes it to Springfield later this season.

Really? Which team did we get him from? Who drafted him?

Tyler O’Neill for one season.

Now to be fair, we do have new talent evaluators coming into play, so we’ll see if it improves.

Liberatore.
O'Neill as previously mentioned.
Genesis Cabrera.
Gallegos was pretty much still a prospect when they acquired him for Voit.
