[ramfandan]

For the Cardinals in this article , writer John Denton selected Brandon Donovan stating this :

Cardinals: Brendan Donovan, MLB hits leader?

With the Cardinals losing veterans Paul Goldschmidt, Lance Lynn and Kyle Gibson in the offseason, some wondered where the leadership would come from for St. Louis. In comes Donovan, a natural-born leader from his strict military upbringing. As he’s done for the first three years of his career, Donovan has led with his actions and his work ethic. He wasn’t bothered in the slightest by a mediocre spring and enters Thursday tied for third in MLB in hits with 18. His hitting helped the Cardinals become the only team to score at least four runs in each of their first 11 games of the season. The Cardinals tend to feed off the attitude and steadiness that the gritty second baseman provides. -- John Denton

The Cards didn't lose Goldy, Lynn or Gibson. They didn't offer them a contract. They knew where to find them...

Donovan has been very good. He has a great work ethic and sets a tremendous example.
