Questions Remain For Cardinals' Defense After Offseason Focus Of 'Being More Athletic'

Cardinals fans have been frustrated with every aspect of the team through the first couple weeks of the season. With the exception of middle of the road starting pitching (15th in ERA by starters), the Cardinals rank poorly in every meaningful statistical category. The offense has been anemic (25th in runs, 28th in batting average), and the bullpen battered (their 7.34 ERA by relievers ranks last in MLB).
