Baez seems much more balanced as a hitter. https://www.mlb.com/cardinals/video/top ... s-pipeline

This might even be a new low for you, and that is saying something there!

The way some of you are slighting Walker, it seems you'd rather have Baez starting in RF than Walker, right now. Is that correct?

No, because Baez isn't ready yet.
Walker is less so.

So, right now, do the Cardinals have any current outfielders that are actually ready to be high level MLB hitters?

How about average MLB hitters. Will any Cardinals' outfielders qualify this season?

No, its just your daily polls asking us to try and predict how good players will be in 2 years.

We don't have a single hitter on the team that is "high level". High level is perennial all star. We don't have a single all star after the donnie trade

Yeah, I thought that was a given. Shoot, the Cardinals have had an OF issue for years.

Getting an outfielder that is pretty close to being a productive MLB outfielder is something Bloom probably could have done a better job at with all his off season deals.
