Comments on: The Horror: Can The System Replace Albert at 1B? http://www.futureredbirds.net/2010/12/30/the-horror-can-the-system-replace-albert-at-1b/ Baseball's Future in the Gateway City Fri, 17 May 2013 00:09:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: wily mo http://www.futureredbirds.net/2010/12/30/the-horror-can-the-system-replace-albert-at-1b/comment-page-1/#comment-31575 wily mo Tue, 08 Feb 2011 15:56:16 +0000 http://www.futureredbirds.net/?p=6322#comment-31575 adams had a 17% K-rate last year, which is actually pretty low by chunky minor league slugger standards. “striking out a lot” for guys like that is up in the 25-30% range, or worse. he doesn’t walk very much, that part’s true – so far he hasn’t needed to, but pretty soon he’ll probably reach a level where he can’t hit .330 any more, so that’s a concern. but he really doesn’t have a strikeout problem, which is encouraging.

Is it just wish thinking or mass delusion among the Cardinals fanbase?

However, if Albert were to walk after the season, then I think the Cardinals find someone that is not currently in the organization (Prince?). Just my opinion.

Because I view the berkman signing as TLR getting his way of having a veteran who “plays the game the right way” man LF

I saw him there in a Memphis game, and he didn’t look more uncomfortable there than anywhere else.

This said, I view the Berkman signing as an obvious statement that there’s nobody in the minors who will be even an adequate replacement for AP at first, let alone give anything remotely approaching full value — yet.

he did not look comfortable
