So, if their plan is to play Wetherholt at 2B, that doesn’t bode well for Donovan. That’s his best position and is where he should remain. I agree Winn should remain at Shortstop, so Wetherholt should be playing at 3B or CF in Memphis, when he doesn’t need to play at SS. Replacing Donovan with Wetherholt is not how you make the Cardinals a better team. However, we all know Donovan is about to start earning more money, so DeWitt probably dictated that he needed to go! The team doesn’t get any better, but the payroll goes down, so Dollar Bill is happy!

It makes Gorman and Nootbaar expendable. You keep Donovan in the event you're able to trade Nado.
I believe all this is possible before next season.

It's finally dawning on the Cardinals that he should be getting defensive work at the position he will likely play for them soon.
Congratulations. Another stupid post. How many is that this week?
I’ll answer that myself. Every one of them
At least he didn't start a JJ farted post. Close though.

I agree, if those two would just stay healthy enough to get a decent return!

Yeah, both get injured right before the deadline. Bad luck there.

Lots of moving parts.
Someone figures to get dealt.
I’m sure the preference would be to move Arenado?
Cards have an excess of LH bats already and have JJ & Crooks looming.
Personally I would move Nootbaar. Blows hot and cold and can’t stay healthy.

That’s why I’d like to see JJ getting some reps at 3B. Donovan needs to stay at 2B. Our infield would be pretty good.

With so many options at 2B. Getting Wetherholt some reps at 3B makes just as much sense as him getting reps at 2B. Dipsshitts, please don't respond with your ignorance.

I see JJ at 2b. Donovan in LF unless Arenado is traded. Then you have ... hard to say.

Of course that all depends on Arenado being moved. He is clogging up everything.

Shady, I’ve yet to ever criticize you for anything, so for you interject your foolishness on what was a an on going conversation where just opinions and suggestions were being exchanged is uncalled for and unwanted!

That would be my prediction.
I’m not that concerned about 3B.
If Arenado stays it’s his position. If he is dealt I guess it falls to Gorman.
If Gorman flops you have JJ and Donovan covering 2B/3B.
And I’m not concerned right now about how they handle that?
Donovan has showed he can play 3B. And if JJ can play SS he can play 3B. Making the throw from deep in the hole at SS is more difficult than the throw from 3B!

I sense there has been a disturbance in the fours.
