I think 36 Cardinal players have worn that number. Many pitchers.

Kyle Lohse is the first one that comes to mind when I see #26. I always thought it was a head scratcher not resigning him after 2012. We certainly could’ve used another arm and those innings he threw for Milwaukee in ‘13 and ‘14.

If my research is correct- bud Norris, Anthony Reyes, Bill White, Speizio, Tony Peña. I think these are correct.

My attitude is based on the over hype. It’s sad when an unproven player is our main distraction going into the season. But that’s where we are I guess. I think JJ will be a great player but I’m not licking the mud off his cleats like you.

Yes, I am. He will be the face of the franchise for the next decade.

No shot. This kid is a pro all the way. He will be our best hitter day 1.

ASG and ROY will be up next.

Mark it down Astro Boy!

We understand you’re rockin’ a huge boner for the young man…..but being the best hitter on this team is a really low bar …

I have no idea how he will perform….and neither do you…

but I think all these expectations might lead the club to rush him to the bigs, and given the overall state of the club there is no need for that..

Yea there were 36 players to wear that number. Very well could be a catcher in there.
