The St. Louis Cardinals‘ bullpen is a problem. A problem that has cost them wins this year and will continue to do so until it is improved. Let me preface this article by saying that I am a Harrison Bader fan. I love the heart and hustle that he has brought to this team this year and I can’t help but hope it rubs off on some of the other players on.
Bader is absolutely outplaying any of the projections that scouts had for him while he was still a prospect. As he rose through the system he was never regarded as anything more than a solid fourth outfielder and right now, he should be starting the majority of the games in right field for the Cardinals.
