Guess who homered again today?

Devin Hairston of the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp

Oops, Moises Gomez did too. 15 for him, 14 for Gorman.

Gomez could probably just skip AAA and come straight to the majors if the Cardinals needed an OF.

He’s got worse K problems than anyone in the entire system. And he’s repeating AA. I agree he should move but there’s no room with Nootbaar and Burleson and Hurst. If they’re done with Hurst then yeah.

Chandler Redmond, 1B, St. Louis Cardinals
Level & Affiliate: Double-A Springfield Age: 25 Org Rank: TBD FV: 35+
Weekend Line: 6-for-12, 2B, HR

Notes
Redmond is a former 32nd round senior sign out of Gardner Webb who owns a .269/.361/.502 career line in pro ball. His peak exit velos in 2021 were in the same ballpark as those of Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman, and his 30% barrel rate comfortably led the entire system, but Redmond also struck out roughly a third of the time as an old-for-the-level player. While his strikeout rate in 2022 is a very manageable 20% so far, there’s been no obvious mechanical or approach change to support that shift being sustainable. Though they’ve tried him at several other positions in the past, including second base, the Cardinals have deployed the 230-pound Redmond exclusively at first base and DH so far this season. There have been 1B/DH types who strike out about a third of the time, hit about .210 and reach base at about a .300 clip, but hit for enough power to be Lucas Duda or Brandon Moss, or even post some of the middle-of-the-road Chris Davis years. More likely, Redmond is in a Quad-A limbo and is possibly a candidate for pro ball abroad.

Jordan Walker is the real deal. Holy [expletive]. I know it's not the right thing, pragmatically, but part of me wants to give him the Griffey Jr treatment and skip AAA altogether.

[Fat_Bulldog]

Yeah, bring up Walker.

Where would he play?
