Walk absolutely has to get the ball in the air. He's just not getting enough out of his raw power and so that's going to impact how teams pitch to him and thus his OBP as well. Then again, he's so damn young that there's plenty of time. And Gorman was a baby when he made his debut as well and it took a season or so to firm things up. Short answer is that I don't give up either for a rental. Not with this ownership group unwilling to go into the market and win. |

He hasn't done anything in 3-4 years to demonstrate that he's even a real top 100 guy, let alone top 20. He's not developed a bit for SF. |

There's nothing about what Nootbar's currently doing that seems to be unsustainable.

Offense is finally producing as we expected but the rotation is still a dumpster fire. Bullpen is worse than I envisioned, though. I want Winn up so bad, but until he shows he can hit minor league pitching consistently, there's no need to rush him. Complete aside, I think Edman might be my favorite player on the team. |

They pitched Liberatore out of the bullpen but keep trotting Matz out there to get completely shelled.

There is no way we are getting a quality starting pitcher without trading either Gorman, Walker and or Winn, correct?

John Mozeliak's ability to scout his own players is so goddamn bad that he's essentially a sitting duck in these conversations. He has no earthly idea who can actually play at this level so when he's making deals, other teams are just picking his pocket. Fortunately he finally appears to realize this so he's simply unwilling to deal. If we're hell-bent on keeping this pile of shit, doing nothing is the best we can do. The odds of us getting anyone notably better than Graceffo or McGreevy are pretty long unless someone like the Giants falls out of it and are willing to deal Cobb. But ultimately, the Cardinals have more reasons to be sellers than the Giants do. When you start to look for teams that may sell veteran SPs, most of those teams are BETTER situated than STL is. |

Even if you are a terrible poker player sometimes you find two fish even bigger than you. Nevertheless, you're still prey to everyone else in the pond.

FWIW, Goldschmidt's bat is showing serious signs of slowing down this year. They need to have a conversation about dealing him while he still has some value.
