Thank you for the evaluation/scouting report/article, I enjoyed it and it gave good insight on Garrett. This was a very good move by the Cardinals,and it will pay off one day

Derek Jeter gets an honourary half-grit, I think.

I think Mark Hamilton is more of a block for Adams than Stav. I think they’ll release Stav as and when it becomes applicable to do so (i.e. when there’s not a spot for him in Memphis) but Hamilton has hit legitimately well the last two years in Memphis, he’s blocked in LF by Brown, and it would be hard on the guy to dump him now (also, there’s an argument that he has some utility to the big-league club as a backup option, although I personally don’t think he has any significant upside). I don’t think Adams’ development is being hurt by staying in Springfield for a little while, instead of moving to Memphis, so I think he’ll probably stay there at least until the Brown/Hamilton logjam is resolved in some way (wouldn’t surprise me to see one or other traded as a throw-in in any deal we make).

Interesting. I didn’t know that was the perception.

I think the scenario you’re describing re: Adams and Stav arises next year but not yet this year. Adams has spent a half-year at AA after skipping a level and has missed some time because of injury this year. He’ll probably start at 1B next year in Memphis, which is fine. Stav can be dumped whenever of course.

White + Little Power + Good batting average + not a long term middle infielder = bill mueller

I agree. That is also what I would hope that Tyler Greene could also become, with the additional ability to play SS and CF. However he seems to have “stage fright” at the major level. Still hoping with him. Solano is another one on the horizon.
