A much needed win today, the Edman and Sosa show for hitting, who knew? Sosa needs to start indefinitely, even with DeJong's return. Have him play 2B/SS/3B. [Reply]

Slow your roll.....Are we sure we have exited Bo Hart territory? :-)
I went and looked at the Springfield Cardinals website. Gorman is playing nothing but 3B. Looks like the Cardinals have decided that he is going to be the DH, insurance in case Arenado opts out or trade bait. [Reply]

Yes, Let's get a little more sample size...the eye test doesn't wow me with him, but I am glad he has filled in well this stint. When DeJong comes back he could get more reps at 2B allowing Edman to fill in a corner outfield spot.
Sosa right now is a better option in the lineup than J Williams. [Reply]
I'm certainly not anointing Sosa as the next superstar but we need to ride this out, unlike what we've done with all of the other prospects we've traded that are now succeeding at the MLB-level. [Reply]

He deserves additional looks, with the outfield depleted, let Edman play out there more and move Sosa to 2b until better options unfold.
I prefer Edman at 2b, but you should always be looking for your best nine, and right now that is pretty thin. [Reply]

With our anemic offense and Carp failing leaves no room for tryouts. That’s not the case yet. He’s hitting. He should play until he doesn’t. Doesn’t matter where players play. In this lineup, you hit, you play. Period. [Reply]

Carp should have been DFA'd a long time ago. Wainwright would have better numbers.
With our shitty offense Carp shouldn't be able to sniff a bench spot yet he starts several times a week. I dont give a **** what he did before. He sucks balls now and has for a long time.
He is the crux of this fanbase's problems with this organization. [Reply]

He's at least learned to sometimes lay off the that outside slider. It's made the pitchers thrown him pitches he can mash. He's mashing fastballs and off speed stuff. Everyone can see the potential upside all the way up to being an All-Star.
He keeps getting these tweaks that take him out of the lineup. Has to be a reason. [Reply]
