Just 89 starters who have thrown 100 innings across baseball this season. The Cardinals have 5 of them (if I include May who pitched over 100 with St Louis).

Kyle Leahy (#29) – 3.44 ERA
Michael McGreevey (#36) – 3.59 ERA
Andre Pallante (#39) – 3.63 ERA
Dustin May (#68) – 4.38 ERA
Matthew Liberatore (#79) – 4.97 ERA

That’s basically 3 #2 pitchers, a #3, and a #4 or 5. A lot better than what most anyone expected.

The Cardinals had so many starter prospect injuries it is the durable survivors who ended up in the rotation, so it has been stable. They will try to improve performance by inserting guys who look amazing in between IL stints and the stability will go away.

[Brian Walton]

Good day, sunshine! I guess if the Cardinals have enough of them on hand, they can get by somehow. Or to fill the gap, they’ll go out and buy a rebounding type like May, who I bet that based on his track record, you gave him little hope to contribute when he was signed.

[blingboy]

True, i thought signing May was a Mo type move, hoping for upside by taking on health risk.

The May signing worker out great in that he brought back 2 good prospects. I hope they do sign another rental type like him next year as well. It may not work as well, but it is worth spending some money to try.

Just looking at Spotrac and the current cardinals 26 man roster is making around $32-33 million

[gscottar]

According to Cot’s the highest paid player on the active roster is Pallante at $4M.

The Cardinals CBT payroll is now $108M, which is 28th in MLB. Only the Marlins and Guardians are lower.
