Btw, I’m not saying he can’t improve, which is why I think in 2025 he should be the SS.
I just don’t see him being an elite level guy year in and year out at that position.
On board with that. Less razzle Dazzle, more fundamentals, Knowing which throws not to make, etc. I also wonder if the offensive numbers Hes putting up are somewhat distracting, He's a rare talent, but he can be better.
I don’t know. We don’t know how much Holliday improves. Or if it’s OFarrell or someone outside the org.
Westburg is obviously a factor here as well, just not at SS.
The answer you want is they Holliday improves. But can he? Does he?
I have said it for over a year now but I don’t see Gunnar as an elite SS. He can be very good but I don’t see him being on the level of guys like Witt. Can he be elite at third and can we get someone who is better than average at SS? Who knows.
Gunnar will be the SS in 2025..I don’t think there’s any question about that and really, that’s how it should be but you can’t have someone over there with his poor fundamentals and making easy plays look tough as often as he does. That has to change.
This is going to be one extremely interesting offseason.
Cant argue with that analysis, but why are we so terrible with a man on third and less than two outs? It is so grating to me to see so many ‘would be’ runs not happening.
He was really good at 3B when he came up. The question is who plays SS in that scenario. We traded Ortiz and Holliday looks like more of a 2B. I don't see anyone in the system who can play better SS than Gunnar.
