2B/3B Nolan Gorman (Triple-A)
Status: Positional practice

Gorman, the Cardinals’ top prospect, has put his best foot forward making up for the lost 2020 season, posting an .817 OPS (thanks in part to a three-homer game) across 117 games in his first taste of both Double-A and Triple-A. Most notably has been his positional acumen, playing second base the majority of the second half as he’s started to learn the position ever since the Cardinals acquired hot-corner stalwart Nolan Arenado.

I would not trade Edman. I doubt Gorman starts the season in the majors, and he’s the likely DH anyway.

I thought Gorman was supposed to have a good glove?

He’s not Allen Craig, but average is probably his ceiling at anywhere but maybe 1st.
