Many names have circulated in connection to the St. Louis Cardinals‘ stated need for a center fielder. These have included top-of-the-bank rumors such as Dexter Fowler (whom I have covered a few times already) and once-fan-favorite Jon Jay. Most recently, however, the name of Marcell Ozuna seems to be bubbling to the top.
My first reaction to the Ozuna name was one of interest but not excitement. That said, as I continue to see him rumored, I feel it is best if we take a few moments to examine him to see if there is fire to this smoke.
