I believe this date in Cards history, the 2004 Cards were sitting in 4th place with a pedestrian 21-19 record. They would go 84-38 the rest of the season.

Best defensive 3B the Cards have ever had. Had an above average bat, but boy was he slow afoot. I'm surprised he mustered 10 SB in his career.

No way he was better defensively than Boyer, Pendleton, Rolen, or Arenado. He was not only slow afoot, but he had very little range. He was sure handed if the ball was hit right to him, but thats about it.

You'd be surprised. Some guys can be quick to react but not speedy. I don't place much stock in sabermetrics, but Reitz' zone ratings compare favorably with Pendleton and Arenado. Boyer's are slightly better than all of them.
