Carpenter, if he could hit in the 5 or 6 position could start on other teams however as a lead off man only the Cardinals would do that. I always felt if that is the only position carpenter can hit in then there is a problem.
The Cardinals need a 5th position hitter behind Ozuna.
The decline of this team this season has been disturbing, Fowler cannot hit his wieght, Wong finally got over 200, the fielding of this team is really bad, Holland is a total bust.
Matheny’s team reflected his dull personality.
