It definitely could be their Achilles heel, but as you said that outfield might overcome it. I also think the Cards’ infield could struggle.

Glasnow/Taillon are both right-handed, and I don’t see an impact lefty in the system (not yet anyway). As for Niese, I kind of think he just isn’t very good. Curious to hear your expanded thoughts on this. Thanks for the comment!

Great write-up, and very well written.
