I’d like to think they still have a trade for a 2/3 starter but I’m doubtful. Like last year we knew they were going into the season with a very weak rotation, I fear that will be the case again and it will likely yield similar results. What you don’t mention is Marmol & staff or player development more broadly. It feels like this could explain some of last season’s dumpster fire, but I’m obviously not privy to that info. A new person to STL (two seasons) and thus only that long paying attention to the Cards, I get the sense that they are also behind the curve on the analytics front. Again, not basing that on anything substantial, but it seems occasionally alluded to and I hear/read little-to-nothing about it coming from the club.
On the typo front, your tiny keyboard added an extra period to the ellipsis, but that’s all I noticed.
I'm afraid you're right. This is likely the team they will go to Jupiter with, barring a minor adjustment to the bullpen.
