Mike Leake & Bad Defense

The St. Louis Cardinals set a goal this off-season to improve the team’s athleticism as well as their overall defense. John Mozeliak has very accurately described the cardinals 2016 defense as porous. The addition of Dexter Fowler, which pushes Randal Grichuk to left field, should help achieve this goal. As well as an expected improvement at shortstop from Aledmys Diaz and everyday appearances from Kolten Wong at second base. These changes should lead to a much more consistent defense. The biggest beneficiary from an improved defense is likely to be Mike Leake.
