I feel sure Burly will be gone because of his limited usefulness, offensively and defensively. I also think Donovan will remain mainly due to his defensive versatility without be
Quite the opposite.Donovan will be gone next year. They should have traded him at the deadline but he will still have some value. His metrics won’t match up with his salary. Defensive versatility is cheap. Think Saggese. So is Burleson. He will still be here. Also, I know how you hate those pesky metric but Burleson is better than Donovan offensively. And Gorman will be catching him shortly. They move Contreras if at all possible.
Despite almost 20 less PA’s, Winn leads Donovan in RBI’s, R’s, and 2B’s. The young SS has produced with the bat
B.P.O.T. It’s not close.
I read “but I know better” as a compliment.
Bling is bulletproof. Stuff bounces off himThank you JJ. The “I know better” meant that I know Bling has complete comprehension of what he read. He just wanted to bad mouth anylitics. Some more. Bad on me for being tired of negative things about the team I love. Everyone whose followed them for a minute or two is embarrassed right now. JJ Wetherholt symbolizes hope and a new era.
A person would think you have really poor reading comprehension if that’s all you got out of that article.
Go ahead and open your mind a litlle Bling.
Sorry to have insulted you and others by trying to start an upbeat thread about the team rather than whine and complain about the things that have gone wrong.
KCB – your insults weren’t about highlighting JJ Wetherholt. They were personal insults directed at Bling.
Amazing you cannot see that.

You left out the bolded part. It gives it a completely different meaning. That was convienent on your part for whatever your agenda is. Common technique in today’s journalism.
do not suppose Wetherholt to be intellectually above other prospects of the last decade, and I would suppose nearly all of them were smart enough to seek balance. The system producing a ML impact player or two for the Cardinals roster is what will open my mind, not an interview, and certainly not one doting on how wonderous the analytics is
You know, I thought it was a nice article to share about our #6 nationally ranked prospect. Sorry to have insulted you and others by trying to start an upbeat thread about the team rather than whine and complain about the things that have gone wrong. I will go elsewhere.
Like you said, you can identify stuff that you’re not great at and try to find ways to address it. I think a lot of teams get super geared up to just look at that type of stuff, that they can kind of lose what makes a player a player, if that makes sense. You get so caught up in, “I don’t do this well or I need to get better at this,” and then you get away from yourself.
I think trying to find that balance point has been what I’ve been doing,” Wetherholt sai
This sounds like he’s trying to balance anylitics with his physical game. Go ahead and open your mind a litlle Bling. It could feel good!
I’m just commenting on how wrapped up in the analytics and biomechanics he seems to be. Maybe no one else remembers a couple interviews DeJong gave back when he was trying to pull out of his tailspin. Hopefully the same won’t happen to JJ, but he is way too deep in it as far as I am concerned.
You are going to make me go back and re read the article. I didn’t get that.
“The analytics side of baseball is really cool,” Wetherholt said.
Stick a fork in him.

Lynn was a character. I liked him. We need more vets like him instead instead of whacked out nut jobs.
As long as that little black poodle under his cap is fed and watered, Jo Jo’s pretty good.
It’s not the poodle-do that bothers me. It’s that little move he makes before each pitch that I find disturbing.
Not exactly a good showing but should be expected from the team that traded some bullpen and then the bullpen lets them down.
Valid point right there boys.
Im emotionless with this team. I just didn’t feel anything when that big fat hit me ball went flying out.
Our manager probably isn’t bright enough to just roll Walker and Gorman out there 5/6 for thd rest of the year.
I’m happy for Walker. Seems like a good guy. We need one of these prospects to be that big bat in the middle of the order. (BBITMOTO)
Atlanta has first female umpire tonight and on MLB channel we got a little kid umpire in training! What’s next trained seals?
It’s definitely gotten weird. Pretty good discussion about trained seals though. Didn’t they usually have pretty girls for their shows?
