Will Cards have three in the top ten in NL batting average next season?
Burleson, Donovan and Wetherholt. 50/50 chance on all three, maybe. 60/40 on two. And 70/30 on at least one.

One is possible, especially since .300 hitters are increasingly rare.

50/50 chance Wetherholt is the only one who is a Cardinal next year. And I doubt he's in the top 10.
Re: Will Cards have three in the top ten in NL batting average next season?
Are you hinting that Burleson and Donovan will both be traded? If so, do you feel Burleson and Donovan could be in the top ten for another team in the MLB?

I heard Burly is a lock for .400 if he only faces "tough RHP" all season.
Re: Will Cards have three in the top ten in NL batting average next season?
No. They aren't Cardinals anymore as in traded.
Re: Will Cards have three in the top ten in NL batting average next season?
My guess, Oli will tell Bloom he would like Burleson to not be traded. Considering they need offense. Burleson was in the top four in the NL in BA at 26 years old and is just coming into his prime seasons. And he's still a bargain. Donovan will be in a higher salary bracket. So he could, more likely, be traded.

Please show your work on how you derived these absurdly precise, made-up probabilities. And given their “precision,”why don’t you specifically assign them to each respective player?
In the meantime, rest assured your desperate cry for attention has been duly noted.

I dont think Bloom cares what Oily likes. Bloom likes guys with gloves.Shady wrote: ↑03 Oct 2025 17:46 pmMy guess, Oli will tell Bloom he would like Burleson to not be traded.

Are you a bot? is there a chance? Sure. However the likely hood is closer to zero than a chance.Shady wrote: ↑03 Oct 2025 17:46 pmMy guess, Oli will tell Bloom he would like Burleson to not be traded. Considering they need offense.

Amended. looks like Burleson was tied for 5th in the NL for BA. If so, still very impressive at 26.Shady wrote: ↑03 Oct 2025 17:46 pmMy guess, Oli will tell Bloom he would like Burleson to not be traded. Considering they need offense.

Isn't it amazing that there was only one hitter in the entire National League that hit .300 or better this season? One.
And in the top ten batting averages in the league, Burleson was ranked 6th and Donovan 9th. So adding JJ to the mix, having 3 in the top 10 some day may be a distinct possibility. I would count out Herrera either.

yep, looks like Burleson was at #6, edged out, fractionally.Cranny wrote: ↑03 Oct 2025 18:18 pmIsn't it amazing that there was only one hitter in the entire National League that hit .300 or better this season? One.
