MEMPHIS.
No, that's not a dateline on this story, I just meant it like:
MEMPHIS, wow, this team!
A St. Louis season-saver!
In 2016, the casual Cardinal fan associated Memphis with negativity. Memphis meant demotion for underachieving players – notably Kolten Wong and Randal Grichuk. And Memphis, a previous supplier of surplus talent for St. Louis, featured the likes of Dean Anna and David Washington and Charlie Tilson and Matt Williams, who was no Matt Williams. When the Cards needed a starting pitcher in '16, they plucked the nightmare that was Michael Mayers.
