[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1768402, member: 747321"] Not a chance. He's been incredible, and is in my mind an even more exciting prospect than Gorman, but we're talking about 500 total PAs in the minors of which 141 are in AA, and the rest are A+ and A. He still needs regular PAs and reps in the field, which he wouldn't get backing up Arenado. He may also need to work on a secondary position to get more opportunities in the majors because Nado has 3B locked up for as long as he wants to stay a Cardinal (Walker has played exclusively at 3B in the minors). I'm thinking the earliest we see Walker is when rosters expand in September...of 2023. That would still be a very rapid progression through the farm system. He'll be in his third professional year and will be just 21. If the organization decides to shake up the OF we'd see Nootbaar come back up and Alec Burleson probably too. [/QUOTE]
