Why is Sosa on the 40 man? Doesn’t seem like he brings that much to the table. I thought his star had dimmed.
bccran, I started to type a response, but it would be better if you read this (if you haven’t already).
The #STLCards have acquired left-handed hitting INF/OF Drew Robinson from the Rangers in exchange for INF Patrick Wisdom.
Robinson, 26, appeared at 6 different positions over 95 career games with Texas (2017-18). The Las Vegas native was drafted by Texas in the 4th rd. in 2010. pic.twitter.com/rAFauwI6XO

I dont get the Robinson move at all. We might as well have kept Garcia. He has a terrinle platoon split as a LH batter. Only thing he adds is versatility but that is not something we are lacking with Munoz and Carpenter available. At least Wisdom had some power. Wisdom had 3 options. This guy has one. Minor league K numbers were in Wisdom territory so no gain there. If this is their move for a LH bat it is a huge fail.
I think the point of the move was that they wanted potentially a left handed bat with some pop. Guy had some ok power numbers in the minors. Not much of an average hitter though.
Someone must have saw something they liked. Guy isn’t going to get many abs other than PH. We’ll see if that power translate to Busch 3.
Excuse me while I go laugh off my derrière. hahahahahahahahahaha *takes breath* hahahahahahahaha
How is this guy better than Double G Greg Garcia, or Wisdom for that matter? Save yourself, its a rhetorical question. He’s not. Hell this guy isn’t even better than Tommy Edman. This is the big left handed bat. Offseason done folks. Cardinals are urgent. Geezus.
Is Whitey Herzog still around and available for consultation? I sure wish somebody would start to check with Herzog before they make any moves for the Cardinals.
Wondering how good he is defensively. Carp and Munoz both have defensive “utility” skills but that doesn’t mean they are plus defenders.
5th season in AAA ball and still striking out nearly 40% of the time.
Sure hope no one who criticizes O’Neill because of his k rate supports this move.
Calm thyselves.
Girsch was fairly clear that Drew Robinson was not the only answer to the advertised lefty bat question. Still in the market there. #stlcards

Evan has minor league depth I would rather have Wisdom. At least Wisdom can play a decent 3B.
My guess though (hope?) is that he hits the waiver wire before the season starts as we will need a roster spot for any FA signing.
Definately kind of underwhelming move.Like others said..there must be something someone in the Cards saw to make this deal.A little more versatile than Wisdom and hits from the left side.Thats all I got.
Maybe this and Urias being added to the roster means Edmundo Sosa will be dropped from the 40-man now?
My brother-in-law in Dallas, who is a Rangers nut, says Robinson is “an average glove, but a good athlete and sneaky fast”
You see, when Mozeliak heard everyone clamoring for a 26 year-old left-handed hitter from Vegas…

Outfielder Mel Rojas Jr., the son of the former pitcher, is looking for a major-league job after hitting 43 homers with a .980 OPS last season in Korea. Rojas, 28, is a switch-hitter who plays all three outfield positions. Eric Thames’ final season in Korea: 40 homers, 1.106 OPS.
