Cardinals/Marlins Offseason Dance - Stanton Says Nope

[Jocephus]

10:58
Monsieur Uru: Does Randal Grichuk’s statcast data suggest he’s pre-breakout to you? Seems like he’s getting squeezed out of STL with or without Stanton.

10:58
Jeff Sullivan: Six strikeouts for every walk. It’s virtually impossible to be a good hitter with that profile

Did the Cardinals visit or plan to visit him/his representatives? Seems like the Giants have an edge there unless they did that.

Rumor has it that three emissaries are bringing gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Stanton pushes the Giants forward in a big way. Especially if they land Hamilton to cover the defense of CF. A platoon of Span and Pence against lefties/righties is a huge improvement in LF over last year.

Bumgarner, Samardzija, Cueto can never be counted out. Add Blach who has been surprisingly good and Matt Moore is a solid 5th guy the Cards would even love to have. Their bullpen is bad but if that's all they need to add in FA, they can bounce back.

Then if they have to trade Panik, they just move Arroyo to second where he's a much better fit. They have a hole at 3B but it's their only real hole. They can have an Arizona-esque bounceback. Which they are known to do...even year again.

It took me a minute to realize you were talking about Billy Hamilton here. Billy Hamilton is a really bad hitter. Like Pete Kozma bad. Hamilton has the speed and defense but he should not be more than a 4th outfielder on a team serious about contending.

He hits us like a piñata.
