[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1763758, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/despite-a-homers-dry-spell-cardinals-have-no-immediate-plan-to-call-on-gorman/article_0308df67-eed2-561c-ae52-d593b93d1844.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/rhummel']Rick Hummel[/URL] The Cardinals haven't hit a homer in eight games. Nolan Gorman, the Class AAA Memphis second baseman, was tied for the professional baseball lead with 10 homers, including two on Wednesday, matched by Class AA Springfield outfielder Moises Gomez. But Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday that there were no immediate plans to bring up Gorman unless he was going to be an everyday player. “That’s the most important part of that move being made,” Marmol said. “At the moment, I don’t see that being the case. “As we said this spring, this kid’s going to come up and help at some point. If you’re asking for a window ... I have no idea. But when we feel it’s the right time, I guarantee you he will be here.” Marmol allowed that being the DH counts as playing every day but he doesn’t want Gorman pegged as a DH. “With somebody who’s relatively new to a position, and still learning it, especially second base, to have him solely DH-ing would take some steps backward from a defensive standpoint,” said Marmol.
