If you haven't already heard, the Cardinals are expected to pursue a "big bat" who would–in addition to such noble deeds as ending world hunger and stopping all wars–resurrect an offense that struggled to a paltry wRC+ ranking of...fourth among National League teams in 2017.
Yes, I believe the "big bat" narrative to be dramatized. While I do think the Cardinals could stand to consolidate their current roster, the goal should always be to acquire value in the most cost-efficient manner rather than "land a 100-RBI bopper". Granted, right field appears to be one of the club's weakest positions.
