That's baseball. There are so many hot streaks and cold streaks in baseball it's insane you can have a team that's 10 games over .500 drop to 5 games under, then back to 5 games over in a month's time. Especially when offense goes through a slump with multiple players out with injury.Hahaha
Cardinals are only three games above .500 now.
The general scouts think he is a mid rotation or a good reliver. Some of the guys who are really analytical think he's the best college pitcher in the draft. He's a unicorn in the sense that he pitches in a way no other pitcher has pitched. He has the lowest release height by a decent amount. He generates a lot of whiffs (30% on the fastball, 50-56% on the changeup and slider) and he pounds the strike zone and gets a lot of ground balls. He also maintains his velocity throughout his start and averages around 90 plus pitches. The problem is no one has ever pitched like him so we don't know if it will work against more advanced hitting.We drafted a lefty from Oregon state, Cooper Hjerpe. Outside of having an interesting last name I know nothing about him.
Carp. Finally one that nobody can blame the front office for - I thought he was absolutely done. Good for him to have a rejuvenation.Guess that Ex Cardinals Player

Dude is mashing this year.Carp. Finally one that nobody can blame the front office for - I thought he was absolutely done. Good for him to have a rejuvenation.
I’m happy for him - no idea how he’s doing what he’s doing, but it’s awesome.Dude is mashing this year.
Cards are targeting all pitchers this draft. Kinda expected 1 or 2 more catchers tho
I blame Jeff Albert oh and the Yankees right fieldI’m happy for him - no idea how he’s doing what he’s doing, but it’s awesome.
Yeah 318 or whatever it is down the line helps tooI blame Jeff Albert oh and the Yankees right field
They see numbers and fall in love. I don't want anything to do with Soto. We need to worry about our Starters, Bullpen, and Catchers not our outfield and infieldI used to be a total baseball nut. Hockey was always my first love, but I got obsessed with baseball for years and actually ended up taking a job writing for a subscription-based fantasy baseball website for five years. Working in the industry killed my love of baseball, along with what the product turned into, and I haven't really watched much the last several years.
What's the deal with so many Cardinals fans being eager to empty the farm system and give the richest contract in history for Juan Soto? I get that he was an elite star player last season, but this year he's on pace for a 4.6 WAR season.
This isn't Mike Trout we're talking about here. He's not a five-tool guy like Mookie Betts. Why are so many people so excited to empty the farm and make such a huge financial commitment to one player who obviously isn't a lock to post 6+ WAR every season? Am I missing something here?

Pretty much what I was thinking, but I've been out of the loop and admittedly don't know much about Soto. I was wondering if I was missing something in my questioning of whether he's elite superstar people are making him out to be.They see numbers and fall in love. I don't want anything to do with Soto.

He's just a very young very good LH power hitter who doesn't strike out much. Definitely a Star in the Making. But there's just a lot of things that didn't make sense for him and the cardinals.Pretty much what I was thinking, but I've been out of the loop and admittedly don't know much about Soto.

I'm always in favor of a more balanced approach to roster building. The downside is too great to devote so much to one player.He's just a very young very good LH power hitter who doesn't strike out much. Definitely a Star in the Making.

1. Cards are fairly stacked in the Outfield. 2x GG O'Neill, 1x GG Bader, ROTY finalist Carlson.
2. Cards management doesn't like spending money
