I think we are seeing the beginning of the decline of Goldschmidt this year as he has shown slower bat speed through the strike zone and a vast increase in swinging at pitches out of the strike zone.......there s a video on the post dispatch web site asking Whitey (at 92 i think)
what the cards should do from just before the trade deadline. fascinating,
pulls no punches.
1. trade flaherty, he already said he wants to go west. trade oneil.
2. sign Montgomery to an extension or trade him with the understanding of
trying to resign.
3. move Contreras to the 7 hole in the line up to take the pressure off and
leave the kid alone. he was a world series catcher, not Yadi, but who is.
4. extend Hicks. you cant just find kids with that velocity and movement.
5. gotta fix Goldy. he strikes out way too much with runners on base.
i might have forgotten some stuff.
I'd take any of these guys, without a doubt.5 Free Agent Pitchers Cardinals Should Target in Off-Season

I agree but lean toward Nola and Snell, and I mean "and". thruel;y need both. But i'd bet (dont have a
beach house)they'd look at the second teir guys like in the past, Matz, Mikolas and past moz signees
and household names, Mike Leake, Jake Westbrook, KH Kim, Bret Cecil, Greg Holland, Luke Gregerson
and lets not forget Andrew Miller. not a great track record.
im too sad to talk Waino.
