Still no bats………………………………………………………………………………….
I believe you have been afflicted with the classic “Provenitis simplis.” The Cards have bats; they just haven’t quite done it at the MLB level yet. I, for one, am weary of signing Fowlers and Leakes that provide little value and block guys who could be quite solid. Between O’Neill, Carlson, Bader and Thomas I’d bet we will have an above average outfield, and the infield will be fine as well.
