I just don't think that's a dude you can win with as your best player. He's like a really good/great player, just not "elite." I was just wondering if Carlson had that kind of potential. I wanted to know what’s everyone’s thoughts on Gorman and Carlson and franchise guys as well. Are they legit middle of the order guys or just more overhyped prospects? Admittedly I don’t pay attention to the farm system like I used to so I honestly don’t know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're underrating Lance Berkman here a bit. From 2000-2008 Berkman was one of the best players in the game. He consistently had a BA over .300 and an OBP of over .400. And had 6+ WAR season 6 times during that time period. If Carlson becomes Lance Berkman we are going to win a lot of games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid I always thought Beltran, Biggio, and Bagwell were their best players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I think it depends on what you mean by calling him a franchise guy. If you're thinking someone like Bryce Harper or Mike Trout, you need to readjust your expectations. But if you're talking about potential 2-5 hitters, I don't see why not. I think the most impressive thing about Dylan Carlson is the fact that he's doing it at AA and he doesn't even turn 21 for a few more months. He's hitting a whopping 141 wRC+ and he's roughly 3 years younger than the league average. While Gorman is playing up as well, he's not been as impressive.

Mainly meant that middle of the order bat who can hit 30+ HRs and bat close to 300 or over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night he hit a solid liner up the middle caught by the Short stop and a bullet to RF that took a great play by the outfield or else it might of put a hole in the outfield wall.

kgarrett12486 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Nats DFA'd Tony Sipp. We should be all over him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holt_bruce81 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I don't understand this roster construction. Mike Mayers and Adelberto Mejia are terrible and should get DFA'd. And Yairo Munoz is one of the more overrated Cardinals I've seen in a long time. How he continues to get playing time is head scratching.

Yet Munoz is getting playing time and Bader just got demoted... Ah good times 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holt_bruce81 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Hopefully Helsley has a bigger role out of the bullpen. He’s a really good pitcher to have down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
