Was just trying to give you some idea of what to expect. I really do hope he can produce. As for Bourjos, I cant wait to see him in the field. I never want to see Jon Jay take three steps in on a ball hit to the track or make a 5 hop throw that barely reaches home plate again. Anything Bourjos can give at the plate will be icing on the cake.

As a cardinals fan I will always remember Freese for his heroics but I seriously think he is all but done. Ive seen many people talking about his back but his ankles just might be the bigger issue. Larussa always handled him with kid gloves because of his ankles. When Matheny took over in 2012 he took the reigns off of David and it paid off. However, I think that season really wore him down. It was painful to watch him hobble around the bases this year and it kind of reminded me of watching Pujols run. I hope he can turn it around but I just dont see it. As for Salas, he is pretty bad. As others have said, he was on his way to being released.
