Here are highlights from sports columnist Ben Frederickson’s weekly chat with St. Louis sports fans.
Q: Guys like Colin Moran and Brad Miller are, at best, league average hitters. Some Cardinals fans are calling for these kind of additions for a bench/DH type bat, but will they also be mad if a promising up-and-comer gets blocked and later succeeds elsewhere because of that kind of addition?
Why can’t they see that? Sign a great player if you can, but don’t waste a roster spot on a replacement level player, right?
A: It really depends on the role and how it is used.
