Progression to the mean. The team wasn't THAT bad and when you have so many guys sub .200 it's bound to swing the other way quickly

Probably because it's the most valuable position on the field. On top of that, SSs tend to be the most athletic players, so moving them to 3rd or 2nd is not non negotiable. Also, there once was a time when Jordan Walker was arguably the best prospect in baseball because he was going to hit 40 HRs a year and so far this season between MLB and AAA with 176 PAs he hasnt hit a single one.

I brought up his lack of in game power years ago when he was climbing the ladder and evaluators were talking about his 40 HR power when he never even came close to showing it in game. I believe DJ was the one who said he was O'Neil Cruz, except he has no defensive value, so he's a replacement level player until he gets some loft on the ball, which he's not showing to be capable of. Next year is his final option year so he doesn't have a lot of time to make good on that potential before the Cardinals start thinking about moving him. And honestly they should probably start thinking about it this season if nothing changes in AAA by the deadline. Last edited by jd1020; 06-01-2024 at 06:10 AM.. |

At least right now you can still sell him as the potential 40 HR middle of the lineup bat at 22 years old with 6 years of control. Multiple teams would come knocking. He would easily still be the center piece of a blockbuster deal today. |

Remember when they didn't want to trade Dylan Carlson and Walker for Juan Soto?

On June 1, Jordan Walker hits his first professional home run of 2024.
