Cards were 6-3 with Contreras/Gorman duo at 1B...while Burley was on the IL.

THanks, Hullie for that stat.

Glad I could contribute something

Would the duo of Crooks and Herrera at C
for 2026 be a poor plan vs Crooks and Pages?

Are you saying they're not in
the same ballpark?

[Bomber1]

I’m looking forward to this game.

The Mariners have a good team; let’s see if the Cards can pull one out.

Would the duo of Crooks and Herrera at C
for 2026 be a poor plan vs Crooks and Pages?

Crooks and Pages would be fine. Herrera DH, emergency catcher. Burleson in LF or RF depending on what transpires with Donovan, Nootbaar and Walker in the offseason.

for 2026 be a poor plan vs Crooks and Pages?

Herrera should spend the offseason working on playing 1st and left field. If he can play a passable 1st LF sometimes catcher and DH it would be great. For catcher I would go with crooks and pozo because pozo has shown he can come up clutch off the bench. JMO

Burleson going to get traded. Donovan too.

Fair enough, it's just a shot in the dark.
My reservations are not wanting multiple
negative D's in the outfield. One is tolerable, 2 and
they have to bring a large bat even then that's DH stuff.
1B, I'm all for.

[OldRed]

Pretty much a AAA lineup.

Oh I’m not saying full time LF I’m just saying give him an occasional left field start when someone needs a day off or play 1st when you want to rest Contreras at DH
