    Well, Harper has been a difference maker in every game, but this night, it is negative.

    Forsch, on Wisdom, I suspect he was pigeonholed after years of high strikeouts and low batting average. Perhaps like Voit he will get a better shot elsewhere.

    If the front office/manager is not able see a change in the approach of a hitter and their improvement, it makes me wonder about their capabilities.

    He’s a career -2 by DRS at 3B, including +6 this year. Here’s an article that says he’s the 3rd ranked 3B by the SABR index (part of the Gold Glove analysis) this year:

    Wong Still Leads Entire NL in SABR Defensive Index

    It’s simply not true that he’s a bad defender. It never really has been, yet keeps being advanced by people who only see his lack of a strong arm and assume that makes him a bad defensive player.

    There we go, Muñoz! Way to get the run back.

    That Munoz is a ballplayer. Checks a bunch of boxes.

    Stl moved Carp off 3B for a very good reason, and I agree with their evaluation.

    Me too. Martinez was so bad at 1st that there was no way he was making it, and having Gyorko at 3rd with Carpenter at 1st solidified the defense overall.

    Mikolas wasn’t great tonight, but he pitched around trouble and notched a quality start so…mission accomplished.

    Yep, 1B, RF and LF are where clubs typically hide DH types.

    But during stretches where two infielders are DL, players out of position is going to happen.

    Why would you send Mikolas back out?

    Yikes Hudson needs to ask Vanna to sell him a strike

    Or they could simply be playing a position that they’re just fine, even good at, but move off to make room for a better overall team.

    The Cards clearly didn’t evaluate him as a DH when they played him at 3rd for the first half of this year and the numbers show that he handled the position very well. He’s no Scott Rolen, but if the team had a real slugger who could play first, he would be plenty fine at 3rd right now.
