Kendry Morales?

[StearnsFTW]

TheCrew, some have totally forgotten that Gamel was so highly thought of. What's funny is that many of them are high on Taylor Green. I've been high on both for several years now, but I have to say Gamel is more closer to a sure thing since he's had multiple seasons that were outstanding, whereas Green has really had 1.5 great seasons. I'm hoping for big things out of our G-guys--Gamel, Green, and Gindl. I think all could hit .285+ with nice OBP's and 15-25 hr power. Best part is, all bat left-handed.

 

You sir are on the same page as me. Agree with everything you said.

 

I don't get why everyone thinks Kendrys is so great. He has had one good year in his entire career, ONE. He put together a good season in 2009 when he played 152 games. The other 4 years he played in the bigs he played in a total 178 games. Why do we want to trade for this guy????

 

 

Because at least we know for sure he can be very good. And can handle the position. And has a good Attitude. None of which we can say with any certainty about gamel. I don't have anything against gamel necessarily, I just prefer morales given a choice.

This is an interesting thread from a couple years back. It is funny how much the tone of the board towards Gamel has changed even though he has had very little actual chance to play in the majors.

People tend to forget Gamel was at top 30 prospect in ALL of baseball.

Who ever had Gamel as a top 30 prospect in all of baseball? I'm not sure he ever cracked the top 100 on any major lists.

Really, never cracked the top 100 on any major list? If you didn't remember a simple google search would have yielded the truth.

 

This part of the Gamel blurb made me sad: ETA: 2009

He was up in 2009, he just rode the bench and didn't hit very well as a pinch hitter which is unfortunately what people seem to remember.

I know, just more about his overall career arc... to think that at one point in time I was expecting him to have the 3B job fulltime by 2009.

With the moves the team made the past two days the more Morales would look better in a Brewers uni.

That's a damn good lineup. The only question would be what the Angels would be asking for. Green + Scarpetta?
