Quick, who are the Cardinals 3rd and 4th place hitters?

[Duck_walk]

We don't have any. if you are a really good team Piscotty hits 6th or 7th. we need stars. we need Encarnacion or someone who can hit 35 bombs without striking out 185 times. we need a real hitter.

Fowler couldn't put up big numbers at Colorado. how the heck will that translate to Busch??? if that's our big get, we are in deep doo doo

I like the idea of Matt Carpenter 3rd and Piscotty 4th. Last season was Piscotty's first full year and he's only gonna get better. If your new CF is your leadoff man and Diaz hits #2, that could potentially be a really solid 1-4.

I want some new players though...why are we sitting on the sidelines?!? I think the Royals might be dealing Cain though after getting Soler...

If Piscotty is your number 6 or 7 hitter than yes I'd say you have a really really good lineup. The Cards have had very few like that over the last many years. I don't expect him to hit that far down on next year's team.

We haven't had a great 3 or 4 hitter since Pujols left. I think the Birds are going to over pay and sign Fowler. There just aren't any other options unless they want to trade Reyes or Martinez which I don't think they will.
My projected lineup is below.
Fowler CF Average CF
Diaz SS Average to below Average SS
Carp 1b Below ave. defense
Piscotti RF Ave fielder at best
Peralta/ Gyrko Ave. fielders
Molina C above ave. fielder went down hill last year
Grichuk LF could be above ave fielder
Wong 2b According to MO and MM future all star and gold glove player who they benched and sent to Memphis.
Now Cordoba goes away in rule 5 draft. Ugh What a terrible week for the Birds
If they don't get Fowler I don't see how this team even stays in the hunt for a wild card team

If we view Piscotty as a 3 or 4 hitter now, our standards have gone down the tubes. This is sad.

If asking who I think it will be...probably Marp and Piscotty, in that order.
