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.

They may not even need to have a .300 BA to be in the top ten.

50/50 chance Wetherholt is the only one who is a Cardinal next year. And I doubt he's in the top 10.

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.

So you must feel Burleson and Donovan will drop out of the top ten. Like they in this season.
No. They aren't Cardinals anymore as in traded.

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.

Are you a bot? is there a chance? Sure. However the likely hood is closer to zero than a chance.

Amended. looks like Burleson was tied for 5th in the NL for BA. If so, still very impressive at 26.

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.
