1. The Duke Posted: March 29, 2023 at 02:48 PM (#6121702)If only there was something they could do with all that excess value...
Did Walt Disney come back to life and start naming Cardinal players using suggestions from the 30's?
Winn is a much better potential bat than Edman and they are relatively equal defensively at short, and Edman is absolutely superior at second (Winn's arm tool that helps him at short doesn't really help gap the range difference at second... Edman has better range) Meanwhile Donovan is also a much superior offensive player than either of them right now and not quite as good defensively as either (even with the gold glove) So all of that is nice, but then you add in the factor that Gorman's offensive upside is massively higher than Edman/Donovan and probably even Winn, but he's a defensive neutral to a liability on a team in which the pitching staff is the biggest weakness and needs as much help as possible. Add in that they also have 4 outfielders, all relatively equal in value and all with potential similar upsides and it creates a jam in available everyday players vs playing time. For one year you can absolutely get away with it, but at some point you are damaging a players career if you don't move one of them (or even two)
(and of course this is ignoring Juan Yepez, who clearly feels like he could be a starting corner outfielder for 10 or more teams in baseball right now)
The current plan seems to be to play Donovan every day at 2B, except for days when Edmon gets a day off at SS, when Donovan will move over to short. So, when either Edmon or Donovan gets a day off, Gorman will play 2B. That makes sense. There is just no place for Winn at this point. The Cardinal lineup may well resemble:
Donovan
Nootbar
Goldschmidt
Arenado
Contreras
O'Neill
Walker
Carlson
Edmon
Slots #3 - #8 are righty power hitters. (Well, Carlson is not really a power hitter.)
Nootbaar hit 14 homers in 290 ab last year, that extrapolates to 25-30 over a full season, replace Carlson with Gorman and now it's legit 2-8 are power hitters.
Cardinals often have a few guys in the lineup that may hit 25 homers, sometimes 4 and very rarely 5, but I don't think they've ever had 7 25-homer guys in the lineup.

"2023 Baseball Player or Character from the Latest Star Wars Series on Disney+?"
I don't think I would do very well at that game.
Nice analysis. Just wanted to point out that Edmon is also a switch-hitter.
One of the You Don't Know Jack games had "Medical Condition or James Bond Character?" One of the amusing ones was Goldfinger. And then I doubled over laughing at Octopussy.
That is definitely a hentai condition.
