Defense

[vbsideout]

The Cards brass keeps telling us they need to improve their defense and says it's wanting to get a better CF which I doubt they do. Did anybody but me notice how bad their infield defense was last year yet they seem content to stick with it.
Carp is not a very good first baseman
Wong is a pouty and cocky 2nd baseman who can't make the easy play because he is too worried about making it look like a tough play. Did I mention he can't hit
Diaz is a stud hitter but shuts down every year because of a sore arm and was not that good of a fielder last year.
Peralta not sure he is the answer at 3rd
Gyrko should be used as a super sub or 2nd baseman.
MO has more than a CF to get if he plans on making this team better. I think it begins at SS and wouldn't hurt to get a 1st baseman that can catch balls at a much higher rate than Carp. Last year pitchers were afraid to throw over to 1st for fear of the ball ending up in right field, which it did a lot.

You listed a lot of problems there and I agree with every one of them. The Angels shortstop Simmons who played for Atlanta previously is a difference maker at short who would improve our entire pitching staff.
He can be had.

I think the Cardinals need to trade some major league players for other major league players, use free agency, and stop trying to get by on the cheap.

I love Simmons so we know that won't happen. The Birds keep telling their fan base they have money, what they don't tell us is that they plan on having more money a decade from now so they can keep building ballpark village at tax payers expense. I sure hope I get over this negative attitude about the Birds, but I just have a bad feel about this upcoming season.

They are going to threaten to move so Trump will build phases 3,4&5 of ballpark village.
