Re: Harrison Bader
The problem is he’s likely going to get paid based on his career year last season instead of who he has been his entire career. Before last season he hadn’t had an OPS over .657 since 2021 or an OBP over .300 since 2021. Let some other team pay on the foolish belief he’s now a .796 OPS hitter.

Our outfield sucks however and could use some help. Value wise I agree with you.

Re: Harrison Bader
And if he was cheap maybe 2 or 3 million fine but some fool team is going to pay him based on his career year and he is not going to want to go somewhere where he will be just a platoon player he will go to a team where he will get as much playing time as possible and that isn’t with the cardinalsriff raff wrote: ↑25 Jan 2026 16:47 pmIf you saw my other post, I see him as a platoon playerOzziesfan41 wrote: ↑25 Jan 2026 16:30 pmThe problem is he’s likely going to get paid based on his career year last season instead of who he has been his entire career.

Re: Harrison Bader
Well if the cardinals are overpaying for a player I hope it’s not for Harrison bader I would rather see Scott or church play every day than see him put up a .657 ops. And again he’s going to want to go to a team where he’s an everyday player or close to itriff raff wrote: ↑25 Jan 2026 17:04 pmNobody is cheap anymore.

Probably not enough fans in stands or eyeballs on the screen for The Poser's needs.

You're probably right. It's too bad he would be a good platoon/4th OF fit for this team.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑25 Jan 2026 17:07 pmWell if the cardinals are overpaying for a player I hope it’s not for Harrison bader I would rather see Scott or church play every day than see him put up a .657 ops.

Re: Harrison Bader
The GM just got rid of three veterans 30+ guys to rebuild this team . Why would Bloom add an OF player turning 32 in June ? Doesn't seem to fit Bloom's plan to me.

Re: Harrison Bader
That I don’t disagree with. The cardinals definitely need a platoon outfielder and bader can play center field which hays and andjuar can’t but like I said the cardinals aren’t in a position where they can or should over pay him based on his career year last season and guarantee him a lot of playing timeriff raff wrote: ↑25 Jan 2026 17:12 pmYou're probably right.

CF is a weak position in our system. Hopefully Scott can pick up the pace. Can Willie still play?Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑25 Jan 2026 17:30 pmThat I don’t disagree with.
