The sad part is how meh the Cards OF is...

quick look at brewers fan boards is ugly. They think Binson is going to be better than Yelich and had to give up more on top of Bindon.

Seems like 1 year too many for a CF that's about to hit 32.

I'd still take the Cubs OF over the Cards, assuming that the Cubs put Almora lead off and not ****ing Schwarber.

Heyturd is that bad

Defensively I'll take him in RF over Fowler.

Last year was Almora's first year actually playing a meaningful number of games and you could really see his progress at the plate as the season went on. He was probably having the best consistently good AB's of any Cubs player.

And as long as Schwarber isn't leading off I dont see why he cant match or beat Ozuna's offense. I'm eager to see what he looks like in the field this year since hes been working all offseason on his body.

I don't expect Ozuna or Pham to maintain what they did last season.

Pham is a .270 20 HR guy. In the 2 or 3 Meh.....He s a 6-7 guy

PECOTA sees the Cardinals finishing the season 84-78. What say you?

I think it’s too low. Going with 88 wins.

Either way, if they stand pat with their current bull pen and rotation they won't make the post season.

Rotation really seems like it could use another proven arm. Hoping there might be some decent values with many of the top FA starting pitchers still on the market but haven’t read of any interest shown by the cards.

Still need a 2 or 3 hole hitter. Top is a joke.

Rotation is driving that down now. Too many ifs...

Not sure why the Cardinals are so damn loyal to Wainwright and aren't being linked to either Arrieta or Darvish. Maybe they are just holding out for Kershaw next year because the Dodgers are clearly going to let him walk away after he opts out.

I doubt they are serious about Kershaw. I did think they might go after a middle of the rotation guy. Mikolas could easily be a bust.
