How Can The Cardinals Fix A Crowded Infield?

Yesterday, I wrote a piece suggesting former Oakland A's outfielder Sam Fuld as a desirable depth piece in the St. Louis Cardinals outfield for 2017. There's just one problem with that idea: there is no roster space for such a move. With the current construction of the Cards roster, it's hard to bring someone in that you expect to make the team.

Could Israel Emerge As Spoiler In World Baseball Classic?

Israel has just one baseball-specific field, and most Israelis know little about the game. Yet the country has emerged as a potential spoiler in the upcoming World Baseball Classic thanks to quirky regulations that allow it to pack its squad with American pro players of Jewish descent.

Cardinals: A Look At Possible Outfield Options

The St. Louis Cardinals are currently set to go into the 2017 season with Tommy Pham and Jose Martinez as their top outfield replacements. Martinez had a very nice cup of coffee with the big league team at the end of last season hitting .438 in 18 plate appearances. This is far too small of a sample size to get excited about though, and I don’t believe they should rely on him on the major league team when they break camp.
