Bob, I will mention that .240 with less taters and avg D at 2B makes him a poor man’s Kolton Wong. But I agree the all or nothing wasn’t working.

I dont want to, but on the face of what you say Bling, I agree. But I dont think Gorman is going to turn into a middling avg middling power hitter. I think he will learn to pick his spots better and just be a smarter hitter. We didnt develope him to provide Kolten Wong level offense.

[blingboy]

Agree KCB. This is temporary.

With that said,Bling,
there were some good times during the Kolten Wong era.

I don’t see any similarities between the two-time Gold Glover Kolten Wong and slugger Nolan Gorman beyond them having played the same defensive position for the same team.

They both have two n’s and two o’s in their name. Well, it’s similar…It’s the little nuances of the game that make it great.

Thats because there aren’t any. They brought entirely different games. If Gorman couldn’t provide power production, he wouldnt be a big leaguer. If Kolten hadnt been a great defensive 2nd baseman, he wouldnt have been a big leaguer. But Blings description of Gorman as a poor mans Kolten Wong is pretty accurate if he hits like Kolten Wong. But he won’t hit like that long.

We are 16th at 2B and 3B (BRwar). We are 29th as SP’rs, and smack dab in the middle of a pitching rebuild / AARP renovation.

I’d trade Gorman, otherwise, 600+ PA’s.

[KeepComingBack]

Jj you dont want to trade Gorman. You just think you do. Be patient. Christmas is right around the corner.

[jj-cf-stl]

Needs come before wants.
I’m fine with 16th at 2B, but that’s also my #7 bat.
