Head case.

Who is conteras?

[Colotiger]

Why he bats second in the order makes no sense to me.

[vegascardsfan5890]

He refused to waive his no trade. Plus cardinals seemed to be obsessed with moving him to first base since last season it seems

[Ozziesfan41]

Unless hes playing hurt comtreras will hit he always has

Maybe because Oli reads comments on CT that a .300+ Walker should not be moved out of 7th in order as Jordan is doing fine there so don’t change the order.

Monsieur De Treville talks like Contreras is MVP material. While relentlessly slamming Burleson. It's kind of funny.

[Goldfan]

Perhaps he NEEDS the stress of Catching to HIT and play 100 or so games……..

It seems Monsieur De Treville and quite a few others here have simply over-rated Contreras, for this season, and continue to under-rate Burleson. I guess, "whatever floats your boat". lol

Think a 33 yr old vet will suddenly turn into some kind of offensive leader when HES NEVER BEEN one is foolish
He’ll have his hot streaks but certainly not dependable…….

He has an .810 career ops and .351 career OBP he doesn’t have to be an offensive leader he just needs to do what he has his entire career and that will be an offensive leader.

He’s a 5th place hitter…..not top 4

[ilcubuffs]

His brother is hitting .074 with Brewers. Still in 4 hole. Maybe it's just a brother thing.

Baker replacing Contreras even on short term basis hurts the team defensively. Have zip faith Baker can be remotely successful, offensively or defensively, even on limited basis.

WC should never be in the 2 hole. When you do not put a player in best position for success you end up with WC and Winn situations. Another Marmot, I am the smartest manager in all of MLB EVER.

His bat will play at second once he gets going I wouldn’t object to it but let’s be real if they pulled him from 2nd in the order put Walker there and Walker started hitting .100 you would be the first one saying how stupid oli was for moving him from 7th. It’s like the ridiculous posters last year roasted oli for continuing to his Winn 8th then he moved him to lead off he went cold and the same ones immediately roasted him for being stupid and moving him from 8th where he was hitting well. Oli is bad but posters need to be more consistent and honest with their criticism you can’t call for something then slam him when he does it and it doesn’t work
