Cardinals Select Tommy Edman, Designate Merandy Gonzalez

By Ty Bradley | June 8, 2019 at 2:52pm CDT

The Cardinals have selected the contract of infielder Tommy Edman, the team reported. He’ll replace Jedd Gyorko, who was placed on the 10-Day IL with a lower back strain. Righty Merandy Gonzalez was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man.

Edman, a 24-year-old Stanford product, is a switch-hitter who’d slashed .305/.356/.513 in over 200 plate appearances for Triple-A Memphis this season. The 5’10 utilityman didn’t crack the team’s top ten prospects on most major outlets, though the organization certainly has a history of turning players of this ilk into valuable contributors.

This’ll be the third designation this season for Gonzalez, 23, who was also cut loose by the Giants and Marlins. The six-foot righty threw 25 innings for AA-Springfield this season, striking out 21 and walking an unsightly 20 more. He’ll have to sharpen his command to work his way back to the big leagues, though his upside does remain high.

    He walked 41? That’s 20 more than 21.

    Was listening to the Tacoma game against Memphis and heard quite a few good things about Edman.. bummer that he got selected now, he coulda made it to the MiLB AAA allstar game.

      He’s much happier in the big leagues making minimum rather than squat. Better to be a little fish in a big pond of $.

    I thought he looked great on those 3 pitches from Chatwood. He almost hit that one pitch that bounced 3 feet in front of the plate.

    Good news is we still have Carpenter, Waino and Molina to lead us to the playoffs like they have the previous 3 years.

    Brain trust left to Houston years ago; it’s time for Mo to go.
