@RedRightReturn2 It really makes me sad that I’ve worked my entire life and watched the government try the best they can to take as much as possible from me. In the end, neither of us will have anything, and yet the government will look me in the eye and say, “Didn’t we do a good job?”

Some Cardinals truths as baseball season gets closer: 1. I’m seeing a consensus around 77-78 expected wins. This is the floor I think, but a very real one if the starting pitching isn’t markedly better this season. While the season may pan out that way, I think there’s more fight (and talent) on the roster than is currently being credited. I’d put us in the 85-87 range for now, +/-4. Ask me again mid-March. 2. It all comes down to how fast players can develop and adapt on the fly. It’s hard to adjust to seeing MLB level pitching every day. It’s even harder when you’re not ready to face it. How these players react to a slow start, a slump, or a long road trip may ultimately define the season. 3. If things go wrong this season, the focus must be solely on development and back-end roster tweaking. There’s no reason to bang the alarm button if suddenly we find ourselves 10-15 games out of the wild card. While none of us want that, this whole thing is supposed to be about getting our younger players everyday-ready. A mid-season firesale would be a sledgehammer to the ankles of that plan. Dump some dollars if you must, but the young guys can’t be part of that purge. 4. There is one reason—and one reason alone—to consider putting Jordan Walker into any trade: we don’t believe he will become the player we know he can be. I cannot stress enough that this Front Office has shown us they aren’t great at making these calls. Walker should be a Cardinal under all circumstances unless it’s an “Arenado-from-the-Rockies” type deal that strengthens the roster with a proven commodity for years to come AND saves us cash. 5. The Brewers are good, the Reds are improving, and the Pirates are adding pieces. The Cubs will no doubt contend for the second-best Central team again. The Cardinals have finished last in the NL Central just once since its inception in 1994, but that 2023 71-91 campaign is still in our rear-view [Footnote 1]. I may be optimistic on the team compared to a lot of people, but some of our rivals went out and got better this offseason. It won’t be a cake walk. Ultimately, anyone’s guess is on the table at this point. We could win or lose 100 games, and someone, somewhere, would probably have called it. But I’m staying high on this team for now. [1] The Cardinals also finished in last place in the NL East in 1990. That was their only last-place finish in their time in the East. That’s just two times since 1969! Prior to that, the last time the Cardinals finished last in the NL was 1918.
