    As a point of reference, the Cardinals finally gave up on Carlson after five years and 1600 plate appearances. Gorman is at 1400 so will be at the Carlson point by the end of this season. Decision time is looming.

    On the other hand, Walker is under 900 career PAs so he probably deserves more runway.

    I agree Brian. I watch all these guys come thru our system and I’m a lot slower to be ready to cut the cord like I am with guys like Arenado Mikolas even Contreras. But they are definitely slow learners at the major league level. We have 3 guys Jj Saggesse maybe Church and now Baez and Jordan. These guys have to be given a pathway if Walker and Gorman aren’t going to be above average Ml players. They have to excel or we need to move on. And just know I love both of these guys. But its time. And yes Walker should have a longer leash than Gorman.
