31 RBI in 14 games

[renostl]

Wetherholt 359 OBA and Herrera 369 OBA batting first and second helps a lot.

Offense flourishes when batters don't make outs.

Worth noting that Wetherholt has scored 10 runs.
Herrera just 3.
In fact, Herrera has scored a meager 3 runs the entire season despite hitting 2nd.
He is tied for dead last with Pages, among all STL hitters with 30 or more PA's.
In fact, Herrera leads the team in PA's - and is currently the worst at scoring runs.
Reality is, he is NOT helping the Walker, Gorman, and Burleson RBI total.

I can't believe that Herrera has not driven himself in more.

It actually counters the position.

IF a guy has a .414 OBP batting second, directly in front of the best the Cards best 3,4,5
if the past 10-20 years, how has he not scored more frequently? He probably needs a .500 OBP.

Remember the "Melville wisdom" on these players:

Gorman: “There has never been a power hitting LH 2b like him in MLB history.”
Herrera: “Herrera's problem ... is he just isn't very good.”
Walker: “Walker will lose the starting RF job within the first 100 games.”
Burleson: "Burleson has no significant future in STL - Mo will trade him at some point this year of the coming off-season."

Mostly it falls into wishing that I remembered more versus wishing that I remembered less.
