Burly in RF
0 - DRS

Walker in RF
-4 - DRS

Half the range
Trust me ybit I'm not enthralled w/the Bison in RF either.

But as long as he's hitting, then we can live w/his basically league average defense.

I still go back to when Wetherholt is here next year and if they address the giant hole of RH power bat then what? They have 3-4 DH. Gorman Hererra Burelson and Walker (4th OF). Because that RH corner OF Donnie and Scott must play

Leaves RF. So my question becomes what to do with all these DH only players? The winning formula is to split DH between multiple players based on matchups but Gorman Walker Hererra and Burelson will all be on the bench. I think 3/4 need to be packaged for said OF and more pitching. They just don’t fit the defense first formula the cardinals need with this low payroll.
Neither he nor Donavan is an outfielder. That being said I don't recall the last time Burleson misplayed a ball as badly as Donny did last night.

I started saying last year they need to give I. Hererra and OF'ers glove and have him work w/J. Jay all winter and in STing.

As long as he can catch a fly ball w/one hitting him in the head, then try him during spring games in LF.

Look at some of left fielders in MLB who've been awful but could hit, he can't be any worse.

Who is this legit RH bat you are getting?
Tucker. We have almost $50 million coming off the books from Matz/Mikolas/Fedde. We could also probably sign Lane Thomas. It’s a more Cardinals move.
Signing Tucker is unreasonable and would handcuff this team for over a decade and (bleep), he's left handed hitter
So cutting $50m last year and $50m this year is a $100m reduction when the contenders including the Cubs are increasing their payrolls. I find it odd that with all the spending the Cardinals chose to force attendance down by not signing legit stars fans will
Go watch
They "forced attendance down!" LMAO...that's some idiotic [shirt] right there...
