St Louis Cardinals 2026

[pruman91]

Make or break year
Gorman - did not produce despite being handed 3B .194 7 hr 26 rbi
Walker - Miracle recovery .303 17 HR and 52 RBI - living up to his AAA hype
Nootbar - TBD

Winn .232 2 HR 25 RBI - trending wrong direction in year 3
Weatholt .248 9 HR 27 RBI doing great for rookie
Herrera .244 7 HR 28 RBI. Not bad not great.

Still time
Church .253 5 hr 18 rbi rookie
Scott .194 2 jr 9 rbi year 2 may not have a MLB bat (.216 last year)
Pages .212 being replaced by Jimmy Crooks and Pozo(?)

Crooks , Bernal and Rodriguez are next wave of catchers coming to the MLB........Expect one of those 3 to be traded and other 2 to blend in with Herrera in the next couple of years......RR get's the nod as the long term catcher prospect.....only 19 and already in AA Springfield...........looks to me like Pages and Pozo will be traded at this years deadline.......plenty of teams looking for catching help right now.......

Maybe we can find a third baseman...

Listening to the game on the radio while driving. Gorman came to bat in the 6th and Rooney said “all he’s done today is strikeout”!

The last three batters for the Cards in the 9th were Crooks, Torres, and Church. Who the hell are these guys? It's hard to keep track of who's coming and/or going? Can we keep on winning with the lineup in this ongoing state of flux? Where's the stability? Looks to me like Marmol deserves a lot of credit this season.

How about Dansby Swanson to play third base?
