[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1767982, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/cardinals-edman-seconds-his-gold-glove-selection/article_5ebc7e2b-5aca-5149-9c2b-1b144c141f88.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/rhummel']Rick Hummel[/URL] Four different players have appeared at shortstop for the Cardinals in the six games they have played so far this week. Paul DeJong, the first, played the position last Sunday and then got sent to Memphis after going nothing for three that day and pretty much 0 for the season. Utilityman Brendan Donovan, hitting well and making all the plays he needed to make and a couple of others, took the next four turns at shortstop, relieved for an inning by Kramer Robertson, who made a throwing error and then also was sent to Memphis after the game, not that he wasn’t going back anyway. Edmundo Sosa, just up from a rehab option at Springfield, ran a long way to catch a popup Saturday when third baseman Donovan lost it in the sun with a runner at first base in the third. And, in the eighth, Sosa snatched a foul fly from behind left fielder Corey Dickerson somehow without bowling over the flyhawk. “I guess we were both smooth, right there,” said Dickerson. Sosa also legged out an infield hit to ignite a two-run seventh inning that helped put away a 4-0 Cardinals win over the San Francisco Giants. The shortstop in waiting still might be Tommy Edman. But in the first couple of innings Saturday, the Gold Glove second baseman put on a clinic as to why he might be served best where he is. With a runner at first and two out in the first, Edman, already playing on the outfield grass for Mike Yastrzemski, dived to his left for a smash, righted himself and threw out Yastrzemski to end the inning. “That,” said first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, “was a great play.” To start the next inning, Edman flashed to his left for a leaping grab of Evan Longoria’s liner.
