With a need for solidifying innings in 2021, the St. Louis Cardinals should pursue Jose Quintana for the rotation.
The St. Louis Cardinals are built as a team for run prevention. With one of the best defenses in the league, almost every pitcher on the team had a FIP higher than their ERA.
For a team with a defense as good as the Cardinals, it makes sense that the team would benefit better than other teams when utilizing contact pitchers.
