Since June 1, he is 29 for 117 with a .248 BA, 11 XBH's, 20 runs scored, and 22 RBI.
Over 585 BA's (in other words, a full season), that is a pace for 55 XBHs, 100 runs scored, and 110 RBI.
Unquestionably, he is one of the top 3 hitters on the current roster.
You are correct - he is one of the players who must get maximum playing time in preparation for 2026 decisions.

Gorman needs to play.
And.....no......he is not one of the top three hitters on the team!
LMAO

If you subtract that awful first 6 weeks where Oli thought giving him 8 ab's a week was the correct strategy, he's actually got pretty decent offensive numbers.
Now his escapades at 3rd base, that's another story. He's still a serviceable 2nd baseman, regardless.

His play at 3B lately has been disappointing. Hopefully Nolan G shows better defensively and gets hot with the bat.

I have repeatedly mentioned this. If there’s a spot on this team for him, it’s at 1B. If we keep Donovan our infield going forward should be
1B Gorman
2B Wetherholt
SS Winn
3B Donovan
If Bloom decides to move Donovan for a good return fine but if he’s here make him the 3B of the future. Gorman should be looked at as a 1B and should be given a hard look there. 2B….3B aren’t his best options.

That's a horrible infield at the corners

How long did it take KKorn to come back? Pun intended... He had the All Star break to get it better
Kids got a chronic issue. Watch teams bunt to the cripple constantly.
People on here think playing 1b won't hurt his back?

I don’t think that’s how we end up at all but if Gorman ends up anywhere, I believe 1B is the best place for him. Not 2B, not 3B. I also think that Donovan belongs on the infield, not as a corner outfielder. Bloom may well end up moving Donovan for help in another area. I see Wetherholt and Winn as our middle infield defense for the next 10 years.
As usual, we need outfielders. At least two of them. This has been a need for years now and that hasn’t stopped. Donovan and Scott as 2/3 of an outfield would be a disaster.

Kkorns back won't let him survive 1b or 3b. Hurdy needs to be traded. He's not a 3b, plays meh 2b

Every STL infielder dropped balls, missed easy plays, and/or made a poor throw during the SD series - and every one of them, including Gorman, also made at least one outstanding defensive play as well.
Gorman is no GG by any stretch, but he is fine at 3b or 2B.

Gorman, Burly and Blaze are three good reasons for Bloom to work hard to get Nado and Contreras to waive their NTCs this offseason.

Why him over Willson at 1B? He'd be a defensive downgrade and DH allows him to be platooned vs. lefties.

as much as I still have high hopes for Gorman, I'm not ready to trade Andy Van Slyke to make room for Jim Lindeman just yet
and Blaze needs to establish himself at AAA first before wedging him in at the big league
