Gorman is quite possibly the least useful player in MLB.
He may not demonstrate that via WAR (even though its awful) because he picks on shitty pitchers that throw him cock-shots.
But when you need a big hit against a quality pitcher, he's not going to give you a competitive AB. Worse still, he's a complete butcher on the infield. As bad as you'll see at the position. He's Jeff Kent bad over there. Dan Uggla bad.
He ****s up
tag plays fellas. And it's typically due to sheer laziness on his part. You could argue that it's because he's just too damn stiff to get down quickly and put the tag where he should (so invariably he tags high) but I won't even bother giving him that much credit.
I said a couple years back that we should trade him because he's not going to be a better pure hitter than Burleson and both guys are really DH only players. And Gorman had, at that time, a LOT more value than Burleson.
These are the kinds of moves that I know to make. And I'm just a dickhead on the internet.
And I'm 100% certain I would be better at Mozeliak's job than he is. It's just not as hard as he makes it. Oh he'll come out and complain that Goldschmidt underwhelmed but who the hell thought he wouldn't age? He had EXACTLY the kind of offensive profile that was going to age poorly. And the moment the wheels started to wobble coming off his Indian Summer MVP (a season where he collapsed in September, no less) they should've dealt him.
This team just gets every decision wrong. Big ones, little ones - ALL of them. Sheer dumb luck should have them at about a 40% hit rate and yet, here we are.
This organization needs an enema.
