You keep Burly and Herrera, flush the remainder. Perhaps you can get something for Noot. Thankful to FO allowing us the opportunity to view all these subpar mostly AAA players in this season of Yutes.

Would you keep Hurdy Gurdy?

Would you keep Hurdy Gurdy?

nope, JJ is our future 2nd baseman

C. Bloom's best trade chip, he's outta here (IMO).

[Goldfan]

I don’t consider him a Yute…..he’s established himself. If he goes then you need at least as good or better to replace. At what point does keeping talent factor in??

[Strummer Jones]

Burly and Herrera have definitely earned spots.

The rest...? I dunno.

I'd definitely trade Noot. Burleson has overtaken him, and it's not close. Sure, Lars probably has the most talent, but he hasn't put it together here. Time honored tradition, I'm afraid.

Pages can stay. I think I like him as a back-up catcher, though. I think it would benefit his bat more, too. Let Crooks run with it next year.

I don't mind Scott. He becomes less of a problem if bats elsewhere can finally wake up. Then you can be more patient with him, while utilizing his wheels and letting him catch just about everything in CF.

Gorman and Walker...I just don't know yet. I think Jordan needs to go to Memphis next year. And not come back up until he's absolutely torching AAA. Gorman...yeah. Same ol' story. He can carry a team one week, and sink it the next.

Sounds like you want to see another year of this? When we’re back in same spot in ‘26 with another year wasted what is achieved? These guys are who they are. Somehow a false narrative has taken hold that “if only more time in majors for a player with little ML talent will propel him to be something he’s not”? This never used to be the process…..I suppose if FO is incompetent and has no ability to sort this talent but again it shouldn’t be like this

Two What?

I saw an interview with Jim Hayes interviewing Holliday and lance Lynn on you tube and Hayes asked them if this runway season was enough to tell you enough about the players and I liked Lynn’s response he said that it should by now you should know who is going to slot where going forward and the players should have answered the questions on where they will be playing and hitting and who is going to be used to trade for pieces of need elsewhere and he said if a player didn’t answer those questions then to him that answers the question which I thought was a great answer. He also said the cardinals have too many of the same guy. I think Gorman didn’t answer any of the questions about him so that should answers the question of if they should keep him or not

This season proved nothing….we knew at the beginning what we know now…..at least I did…..
Herrera and Burly proved they could hit before this season. The others were always suspect or shouldn’t have been at the ML level in the first place.
Someone needed this season to see Noot not be healthy and be average? Been saying this for years
Someone needed this season to see Gorman and Walker have MAJOR holes in their swing with no ability to correct? Those 2 CAN’T hit UNLESS they attempt to hit like they ALWAYS have……and that isn’t good enough to be a productive ML player. Notice both Gorman and Walker tried a different variation of their batting stance during the season and they BOTH went back to their original stance because they couldn’t hit ANYTHING…..so they’re done

He and Snoot are the same age, and you consider Snoot a yute.

I'd trade both

I think Donny a bit older….but I’ve never played along with the extended Noot tryout….just playing along here with “playing Yutes” in 2025….How’d you like it. Get enough of Noot, Gorman, Walker…..

[icon]

Noot is not a Yute.

[Goldfan]

Noot is not a Yute.

Correct, but storyline is he has been hurt each season…..and THIS year was THE YEAR for him unleash all his greatness….along with the rest of the Yutes…..see Greatness in original post above

No sense getting rid of JW as he has a minor league option left. I ASSume KKorn does to...so I'm OK giving them runs in the minors. I'd start both at AA and force them to earn a reason to either progress up thru the system or get rid of

Gorman is 26+….both have shown no capacity to correct, change, improve their swings. They’ve shown they can handle AA pitching …its MLB pitchers they can’t hit….
