Siani is a defensive replacement and nothing more

Good luck with that... I'll type slower next time
I've never been proposing he start in CF.

Most times Cardinals look in the mirror and select who gets their favor. They make up their minds beforehand and rather than admit that they are wrong, they blindly go ahead and make a bad decision. There hitting has not been good for the majority of Spring Training. Yet they are counting on Siani. Why? No offense to him personally, but he needed 3-hits the last two days just to have 4 total hits. Huh? Frankly, he should be cut. Furthermore, they put him and Scott together and bat them at the bottom of the order. How does that help Scott? One of his best attributes is stealing bases. Who bats ahead of him? Nolan Gorman. Are they counting on him striking out? Otherwise, Scott's best skill is thwarted and boxed in and out. Certainly, helps his career. Trade Scott. He will say the appropriate things on his way out the door but be elated that he is going elsewhere.CCard wrote: ↑16 Mar 2025 09:07 am Surely there are better options. Why not Scott?

Well, MS is a really good defender, playing a position that the cards are thin at.Baseball Savant wrote: ↑16 Mar 2025 20:25 pm He’s cheap and doesn’t complain
Hes the underachiever type this city adores (mc Ewing , Bo Hart etc)
The 314 gets their insufferable little mascot
It’s not a meritocracy under Mo
It’s the path of least resistance
This team cannot afford to use a roster spot for a defensive specialist. That luxury is reserved for good hitting teams that have leads to protect.
He should not be an option. If he's the option because someone else is hurt, it means we have no viable option and need to make a quick trade for at least a journeyman replacement like Grichuk.
Exactly.
Agreed. I'm sure Siani is a great guy but he has no business anywhere near the plate. I wouldn't doubt him being the worst hitter on the team, pitchers included. Scott should be in the 1 or 2 spot and given the opportunity to fail over the season. If he gets on at a decent clip it could jump start the entire offense. Look what Vince Coleman meant to those Cards teams in the 80's. Gorman should bat at the bottom of the order until he can prove that he can make contact. They also need to get him to hit to all fields instead of trying to pop homers all the time. Gotta him away until pitchers try to bring the ball in to you. Also tell him to lay off of the off speed stuff in the dirt. Until then he'll be no better than present day Matt Carpenter. Refusing to make adjustments.LCA1951 wrote: ↑16 Mar 2025 18:29 pmMost times Cardinals look in the mirror and select who gets their favor.
