How many, sub 700 OPS starters can you have in your lineup

and be successful?

Cards hitters are atrocious.

At least 4 on any given day with 2 others teetering on the brink.

Still down with Brown?

They are middle of the pack in many offensive catagories. No stud. Is that really gonna make that much difference. What is it a stud brings to the clubhouse.

I've been struggling to find the Cardinals all-star rep.

My guess is it will be B. Donovan, outside chance it could be S. Gray.

I can't remember a Cardinals team going back to the late 60's/early 70's when I was a little kid and became a fan that had no true star on it.

Yeah. I wish each team didn't have to have a rep in the game. No one on the Cards deserves it...

You probably know. I don’t really know but how many hitting coaches have these guys had as a Cardinal?

Correct

The Cardinals have no worthy "true" all-star candidates, reminds me when PDJ ( 8O ) was named their rep.

But looking at other NL second baseman, Donny does warrant the backup to K. Marte.

Scouty thinks Donovan sux, wants Mo to trade him.

I don't think he sucks. I think he's overvalued and I'd trade him...

Well, we got 20% off of last year’s payroll, and another 20% comes off after this year, but attendance is down. Best we can do is Lane Thomas.

And this is why attendance is so low. Who are you excited to see when you go to a Cards game? Zero star power.

No doubt

Just Go back to the horrible 70's and we still had Gibby-Brock-Torre-Simmons while the 2025 team has..........no deserving all-stars other than Donny and he's a weak choice at best. :oops:
