Let’s start with what we all know: the offense has not been good. That’s been true for two consecutive years. With no additions to the lineup so far this spring and no real reason to expect any, the Cardinals' only hope of improving their offense is if their own players improve.
Or if management improves how they use those players.
This was reflected by John Mozeliak in a recent quote that made its way across the internet. “We have to see an uptick in our offense,” Mozeliak said, “or it’s going to be a long year.”
Let’s just appreciate that quote for what it is.
