STL Cardinals and Fighting Illini die hard! Go Cards and I-L-L!

@STL_Stats_Facts @SandyMac718 Seems like a low price for Gorman. Throw in Harper and Schwarber in addition and they’ve got themselves a deal. 😂

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@BenVerlander Jordan Walker?

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@joshjaco98 We sure we gotta trade him? Not sure what you get for him would be more valuable than what he offers. I say pick up the option and run it back next season. We have other pieces like Noot we can offload to help strengthen the bullpen.

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@bschaeffer12 So uhhhh we sure we gotta trade May?

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@SandyMac718 Hey now, those 2 extra RBIs and 5 Stolen Bases make him worlds better than JJ 😂😂

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@STL_Stats_Facts Just a popularity contest. Smaller Markets will only get one representative each year until the fan voting is done away with.

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@STLSprtsCntrl Should’ve happened last year.

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@SandyMac718 I like George. He gave up the two big hits and run but he’s probably been the more steady reliever in the pen. The rest of the guys can go.

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@Ackerman1120 He should be on a plane to St. Louis for tomorrow nights game.

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@StlMac_ I doubt you’re locking him up cheap now. I 100% respect your opinion and most of your opinions. That’s why I follow you lol. Maybe Vogelbach wasn’t the best comparison. I just want the team to be cautious. I don’t want us to get burned long term. That’s it.

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@StlMac_ The Vogelbach comparison was just to show that sometimes guys have a breakout year and then struggle again. That’s what makes me nervous about locking him up long term. I’ll be the first to say lock him up if he does this again next season.

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@StlMac_ I’m not discrediting him at all. I am pumped what he’s doing. I’ve always wanted him to succeed. I’m just not ready to throw $100mil at a guy who we don’t know if this is sustainable or not. Again if he’s still doing it at this time next year. Throw 200Mil at him.

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@StlMac_ I think you’re greatly misunderstanding my take. I love Walker, want him to succeed, and hope he’s the future. I just want to make sure this is who he truly is before we lock him up for 8+ years. That’s it. I’m not saying he sucks or anything.

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@StlMac_ What’s so crazy about wanting to see if his success is sustainable before throwing a bunch of money at him? If you sign him for that and he goes back to his old self, our finances are blocked for other assets. I say wait until this point next year then lock him up.

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@StlMac_ Find me another guy who started off as bad and then went on to be a franchise type talent? David Ortiz is the only player I can think of that started out so poorly then became a legend.

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@StlMac_ Remember Daniel Vogelbach? Started out mediocre, dropped a 30hr season considered a possible MVP and then posted -War seasons the rest of his career.

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@StlMac_ Two different scenarios. J.J is a rookie that you sign while you know he is cheap. This is Walkers 4th season. 3 of those years he’s been below average. How do we know this year isn’t an outlier year for Walker?

[Andrew Dunford @adun98]

@StlMac_ This season yes. But he’s only been this good for half a season. I’m not ready to throw a guy $100+ mil that has only been good for a little over 3 months.
