Next Year's Cardinal Outfield

[rockondlouie]

The OF is an interesting topic going forward. I can see half a dozen different ways to build a good infield- the outfield not so much.

Burleson probably will be the RF. Herrera probably SHOULD be the LF. Wetherholt COULD be the CF. By "could" I don't mean there is a

chance that he will, I mean I think he could learn the position and do reasonably well there. I'm pretty sure he stays on the infield. It

was a good thought exercise, and you had me interested until you mentioned spending big bucks to get a big bat, or pitching. That's

not happening. Some of your players not mentioned, as well as some of your infielders will fetch whatever pitching is acquired.

Why play Burelson and Hererra in OF when DH available? One can DH

Agree. Gorman and Walker need to go to AAA to prove they can hit before they ever see MLB again, which leaves the DH open for Burly and Herrera.
They need to gamble on Josh Baez in CF by May/June if he continues to progress, b/c VSII is not the answer.
Donny to 3b and JJW to 2b.
There are some interesting FA OFs - Bellinger, Lourdes Gurriel, Bader, Grisham, Robert, Jr., etc.

This has been my guy, just not sure BDWJr will go there.

Not going to take on big contracts next year, may be working to sell. That would be my favorite off season development.

Agreed midmo

The "For Sale" sign on NADO, Gray, WillyC, ect....will go up as soon as the WS ends.
