It does not appear that the Cardinals will sign another outfielder, and in this writer’s opinion, that’s a good thing. I have been a vocal advocate for signing another infielder, but I’m more torn on another outfielder. There are calls to sign another outfielder who can specifically hit right-handed pitching, and it’s undeniably a weakness that in a perfect world would be addressed. But in a world where the Cardinals want to spend as little money as possible, I’d much prefer whatever available money they are willing to spend to be spent on another infielder.
One of my arguments against signing another outfielder is the surplus of mediocrity combined with potential.
