Who is that new kid with the .933 OPS?
Should probably let him start a game at some point and see what he can do.Maybe one of those sub 650 OPS studs could be rewarded with a day off.
Not playing Fermin on the Sunday either? This is total BS.
If a guy is a ‘prospect’, he stays up with the team for half the year with an OPS under .600 and gets to play everyday.
If a guy is a non-prospect meaning he was drafted late or is a late bloomer, he has to destroy AAA, then get the call-up, then sit around on the bench for five days, then get an occasional pinch hit, and a start once a week if lucky. And unless he excels in that role, they throw him down to AAA at the first blip of mediocrity. Pretty much setting them up to fail. How are you supposed to do well, when you haven’t had an at-bat in nearly a week.
They should give these players a fair chance. Bring then up when they are red-hot. Throw them in the line-up everyday and see what they can do. Give them two weeks or even a month.
After Rasmus got shipped to Toronto, Tony Rasmus didn’t like the Jays hitting coach approach either.
Colby really should have stopped telling his dad things after the first season of him moaning.And yes, people will come out to see Jose Fermin, because they will enjoy singing the Jose song, that has infected every stadium that contains a quality Jose
Ok,
At least the Cardinals management gets it
Jordan walker demoted. Jose Fermin up to the big club.
You guys are gonna love him.Answer: simple, play for another franchise.
Cardinals rank 26th in MLB with a .634 OPS, but hey, just keep rolling out Walker and Burleson.
Working out great so far.Good point about the DFA. True, I just think he shouldn’t be on the roster. Fine depth option.
As for the IF/OF, Burleson is mostly getting DH reps right now, and there are plenty of guys on the squad who can shift between IF and OF, so even thoough Burleson is an OF, and Fermin is an IF, it would still work.Alec Burleson can be DFA’ed.
He’s 25 now, and put up negative war all three seasonsCardinals don’t have room for a bad defender who mostly plays DH and has a .656 career OPS.
Not sure what they see in him.
Although the 2023 numbers may seem dissimilar to this year:
HR
2023 4 in 81 AB
2024 4 in 68 ABBB%
2023 14.8%
2024 16.2%K%
2023 6.2%
2024 4.4%While he is slightly better across the board in all categories, the numbers are markedly similar.
The main difference is that:BABIP
2023: .190
2024: .347Whether that’s a case of bad luck in 2023, or some newfound skillset I’m not sure.
