Well, April is gone and as we begin May what have we learned about our beloved home team? Some ideas, if I may?
1. Scott & Winn are exciting players who bring speed, defense, hitting, and enthusiasm to the table!
2. Burleson & Baker really don't belong on a decent MLB roster.
3. Libby can pitch! Who was our last decent Lefty starter?
4. Walker has made tremendous strides in the OF while still struggling to hit with consistency.
5. Our bullpen is not a team strength.
6. A healthy Noot is one helluva ballplayer.
7. Pages & Pozo are a decent catching tandem.
8. Herrera's bat plays...his arm behind the plate does not.
9. Saggese is a legit hitting prospect; still unsure where he may fit in defensively.
10. Oli is still a clown.
11. Gorman is now more suspect than prospect.
Feel free to add to the list....or to disagree (I can take it).
Good summary. I’ve got Walkers as suspect also. He has to hit and with power
Excellent list ! Agree with all points except for No. 10
I am not an Oli fan but do not consider him a clown.
For me, he manages without the ‘feel’ for situations.
Very analytical ti a fault. Sometimes you need to go by your gut,
Pull a squeeze play or something unexpected to win a game. He is too predictable for me . I also think he is too volatile with his temper. His ejections reflect that. Chirps way took much.
Constant complainer on ball/strike calls. Guys like Francona, Counsell, etc. refrain and have much more respect in the game.

Good list MDT, agree w/every point you made!
12. Noot & Donovan need to be given extensions that buys out their remaining ARB years plus at least their first two years of free agency
13. Leahy has become a quality, back of the pen' reliever
14. Brown has made an impact on this team as the new hitting coach
15. The Cardinals still don't know how to use the DH spot (hopefully they install Hererra upon his return and just leave him there)
