GDT : Cardinals vs Mariners (4/24) ~ 7:15pm CDT

[imetsatchelpaige]

Right now this is our best lineup with a little more potential pop at the bottom.

Concur.
I look for Fermin to have a good night.

[sdaltons]

Looks like Scott needs even more ReSt!!

You would rather have Scott over Church?

Ha definitely not, just calling back to a previous thread

Seeing Scott on the bench again tonight has me thinking this scenario .

Noot expected to return about May 26th. So Oli has one month remaining to see how the trio of Church, Fermin, and Scott in the OF.
Pretty likely Noot would return to LF spot so Oli will want to give many reps to Church in CF between now and then

If in this next month , Church hits much better than Scott then he may get the bulk of CF time IF Oli wants to play Noot a lot in LF making Scott's starts in CF decline .

When Noot returns , some posiiton must be removed from the roster. The candidates would most likely be from a group of Fermin, Saggese , Urias
Some may disagree with this analysis but I feel Oli likes Urias for 3rd base for defense when he wants to put Gorman as the DH in some games.
If Oli does, then it may come down to Fermin vs Saggese .. I know some have said Oli like Saggese a lot but Fermin may be the guy of those two to keep. Your thoughts
If Bloom /Oli wish to continue with 4 OF's Noot, Church , Scott, Walker would have the best shot it seems.

Not bad - given the limited options.

Best possible use of current personnel.

How about Gorman at 3B and Pozo DH?

You might have me there. That is too close to call.

I'll call Oli and ream him out.

One thing to consider is who is best replacement for Winn on numerous rest days and in case of injury.

Church deserves the start.

That may be the only thing keeping Saggese around.

[dugoutrex]

best lineup of the year - Go Cards!

[Charles King]

Fremin is out of options. Probably stays when Nootbaar is ready. Saggese probably goes down unless injury or trade. Maybe to early for a trade

While you’re at it, tell him to end the love affair with Pages. Maybe the absolute best lineup is Pozo catching, Gorman 3B, Herrera DH, the rest as is.

He played on Wednesday, so…

LOL

Poz needs to be catching once a week.

You should probably check your sarcasm meter.

Dang it. Didn’t catch it

All of our catchers are once a week types. Our best are all down on the farm.
