And Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said it would stay that way, at least in the fact that the hot-hitting infielder wasn’t brought up to be a designated hitter. He will be wearing a fielder’s glove on most days. “Whenever we brought him up, he was going to play second,” said Marmol. “He’s going to play second and Eddie (Tommy Edman) is going to play short.” Gorman, who had 15 homers, a .308 average, and a 1.044 OPS at Memphis, might DH on occasion, just like any other regular. With left fielder Tyler O’Neill on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement, Marmol said he didn’t envision Gorman seeing any time in the outfield either. The 22-year-old Gorman was called up along with left-handed pitcher Matthew Liberatore, another Arizona prep standout who was a teammate of Gorman’s on a travel team coached by both of their fathers. Liberatore will make the Saturday start for the Cardinals, with both sets of parents on hand. That the two longtime friends would be called up to the majors on the same day was one for the books. “It’s pretty unreal,” said Gorman. “It’s super cool. We always pushed each other when we were younger.” [/QUOTE]
