My fellow Cardinals fans, as we all know, the offseason has been long over with and spring training is becoming a more fading memory as we focus toward a long difficult season, approaching the middle of April.
However, thinking back into this past offseason, I now wish to know your thoughts about the SS position. Of all of the available shortstops, our new rookie GM John Mozeliak decided to sign Cesar Izturis. So far this season, Iztu has been a decent surprise. He has an .405 OBP and what is the most surprising is his BB versus K's. He has walked 8 times versus only 3 strikeouts through 12 games.
I now ask for your input. Considering what I just mentioned above, who would have been your shortstop? Would it have been the former Cardinal Edgar Renteria, Orlando Cabrera or Cesar Izturis? And may I also ask why?
- Here are the season stats (through at least 10 games) to consider;
- Edgar Renteria (Detroit Tigers) G=11 AB=45 H=11 2B=3 3B=0 HR=0 RBI=3 TB=14 BB=3 SO=8 SB=0 CS=0 OBP=.292 SLG= .311 AVG= .244
- Next is Orlando Cabrera (Chicago White Sox) G=10 AB=36 H=7 2B=1 3B=0 HR=1 RBI=4 TB=11 BB=7 SO=4 SB=1 CS=0 OBP=.341 SLG=.306 AVG=.194
- Last is our Cesar Izturis (Cardinals) G=12 AB=32 H=7 2B=2 3B=0 HR=0 RBI=1 TB=9 BB=8 SO=3 SB=1 CS=1 OBP=.405 SLG=.281 AVG=.219
Do you think Mr. Mozeliak made the correct decision? 68
