Last year BW held a contest for the first Cards HR of the season. If he’s doing it this year my vote is for Burleson. Happy opening day boys and girls. Green grass….. play ball! Cards 4 Rays 3.

[stlcard25]

To go a step further, I will say the following guys will be the Cardinal leaders this year:

Batting Average-Burly .290
HR-Gorman 25
RBI-Herrera 92
SB-Scott 41
Hits-Wetherholt
2B-Wetherholt
3B-Scott
WAR-Winn 4.3

Wins-McGreevy 14
ERA-Liberatore 3.35
Losses-Pallante 15
Bullpen ERA-Romero 1.91 (traded away)
Saves-Svanson 17

All Star-Winn

Minors Hitter of the Year-Josh Baez
Minors Pitcher of the Year-Tanner Franklin

Cardinals: 82-80

My prediction for the home team???

Lots of thrills, chills, and spills. It ain’t gonna be boring, but it ain’t always gonna be pretty either….

[Jnevel]

I’m going to offer a prediction on what the team will look like in September:

C: Crooks, (limited Herrera)
1B: Burleson
2B: Weatherholt
SS: Winn
3B: Gorman
LF: Baez
CF: Scott
RF: Walker
DH: Herrera (mostly)
Bench: Pages, Saggese, Church, Jordan (Pozo, Fermin, Urias, and Nootbaar all traded or released)

SP: Liberatore, McGreevey, Pallante, Fitts, Matthews (Leahy, May, and Dobbins all traded)

RP: O’Brien, Svanson, Graceffo, Naughton, Hence, Rajcic, Gastellum, and Hales (Romero, Stanek, Pushard, Bruhil, Roycroft, and Soriano all traded or released)

[1toughdominican]

I predict that the Redbirds will be either 5-2 or 4-3 after playing the Tigers on April 3…I may not get it exactly right, but I bet I’m close.

[Jnevel]

Close enough anyway 1TD!

[1toughdominican]

Haha…I’m a genuine clairvoyant, Jnevel!

[1toughdominican]

I called that one correctly…
