Saggese seems superior, overall, as a hitter and defensively. He's only 23. Gorman is 25.

Donovan and Wetherholt should play 3B and 2B next year.

So...I prefer neither Gorman nor Saggese

My day would not have been complete without another dumb-ss Saggese/Burleson thread. Thanks so much, Shady. You are one of a kind.

Yep

No, Donovan needs to be traded. You expect to compete next year??
Answer is no, so Donovan on the team really does nothing for 2026 or 2027, he would fetch a nice piece or two.

1. Attention.

2. "Saggese seems superior, overall, as a hitter." Based on what?

wRC+ (2025/Career)
Gorman: 90/100
Saggese: 79/76

Granted, the sample size for Saggese is still small. But what is the basis for your claim that he is "superior, overall, as a hitter"? Please show your "work."

Ok, who plays 3B?

No, I don't expect to compete, but I'm not putting (bleep) out there in Donovan's place. Move on from Gorman if you must.

Donovan is too good

No

Saggese. As a utility player.

+1
I always hope this time of year he will dry up and blow away, but no suck luck.
His mindless threads will continue.

Not really, because there are many pseudo identities in play. He make Sybil look like a piker on the schizophrenia scale.

Roby or Skenes?
Burly or Ohtani? (both pitch)
Sagesse or Bobby Witt Jr?

I am curious about something…you LOVE [shirt]ty young players…why no love for Gorman?

Ok this is a legit question and I’m NOT trying to be a jerk....but exactly WHO is this Shady poster???
He seems to go way back and I only go back to 2022.
Don’t wish him or anyone any harm but his posts/threads are disturbing.

Gorman has had plenty of time. I don't want to see him or Walker back next year.

I am ok with giving Saggese another year but as a utility player.

Some really good, thoughtful responses. Thanks

Raise the bar. Saggese is not good enough. And neither is Gorman.
