@PapaBearTG @fuzzyfromyt I guess a lot might be bad wording. A fair amount is a better description

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@The_Ryan_Shull To be fair, prior to the last two starts, if I remember right the offspeed run value was pushing great. The problem is, as a starter his fastball run value has always been poor. It’s why he’s better suited for a multi-inning lefty relief role in the mold of Andrew Miller.

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@FormerRedbirds You understand they are a game up on the Phillies for the first WC and 2 up total right? (With the tiebreaker over the Padres already). Even the best teams in the league go through rough stretches. If their rough stretch is 11-7 since the cubs series this team is a playoff squad.

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@STLSprtsCntrl Absolutely. If you get offered more value than what pick probably 35ish would net you in the draft, you take it

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@RayMileur1 Realistically, it’s more about where does he fit in? They realistically don’t want to put him in center on a daily basis, and due to his injury history prefer the same with Noot. DH is taken 3 out of every 5 days by Hererra, and the fourth day belongs to one of Crooks/Velasquez.

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@TheRedbirdWay @Rinedog1 @STLfan006457 They are not calling him up to be a 4th outfielder with a shot at developing into a full time starter. Similar to JJ and Crooks, if he’s up he’s expected to see the field on a daily basis.

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@Rinedog1 Think we likely extend Walker? We’ve only got 3 years of control left after this one.

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@MatthewMKE98 I agree. Jeff was good, but definitely had flaws. He was in a similar boat to Mike Pettine (who unironically is where he came from)

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@PeterAppel23 This is farming for engagement right?

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@wischlist The problem is tech couldn’t just move off of him without it being his decision because of how much they paid him

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@GoodmanHoops And lastly draft day gets here and they pull a stunner and take either Caleb Wilson, Keaton Wagler, or Kingston Flemings first overall

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@redbirdnerds I would venture to guess he probably goes in without a cap on

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@Cardinals_Live_ Winn due to his defense is much more valuable at SS than 3B. At his best, he’s still probably just an average bat offensively. With elite SS defense you can live with that. As we saw the last couple years with Arenado, even with elite 3B defense, it’s hard to stomach there.

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@echann7 It absolutely would be! I feel he’s in the mold of a Jared Hughes, but that could just be the funky delivery making me see that.

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@STLfan006457 It used to be the case prior to the MLB buying stake in the major Indy ball leagues. Now it’s more of like a minor league free agent pool

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@Sooners80 @kyler416 Absolutely not. That was when it reached the point of no going back without a send down, pinch hitting a lefty for him.

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@joshjaco98 He’s gotta be due to head to double a soon, no?

[Noah Carter @NRCarter22]

@kyler416 I’m not sure they should either, but seeing with the way they have operated (like pinch hitting for Gorm before sending him down), that’s what seems like is coming next
