Prospectus Hit List: Returns & Departures

2. Cardinals (Up)

The Ocho: Winners of eight straight, the Cardinals retake the NL Central lead. They've been getting especially good work from Felipe Lopez lately; he's hitting .337/.389/.446 since June 28, when he took over the third-base job for David Freese, who's been sidelined by a bruised ankle, not to mention a broken big toe sustained via a 75-pound dumbell. The Cardinals may wish they could clone Lopez, since starting shortstop Brendan Ryan is putting up a Replacement-Level Killer-esque .203 True Average, and backup Tyler Greene is down with a wrist injury after hitting .313/.389/.500 since being recalled on July 2.
