St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!

Greene does need some time, but when Descalso is doing so well what is to be done?

IIRC we are about 2 deep in the infield and about 2 1/2 deep in the outfield with a couple of the backups being listed more than once. And yes it did seem like a repeat of Sep 1st 2011 all over again, works for me though.

The boys are doing well but Matheny has yet to be tested which is where I am most anxious about. Pujols was one think but losing a seasoned manager is entirely different. I'm not sure we would have won last year if Tony was not at the helm.

And Furcal ... After all the talk of being the everyday second baseman, Greene is starting to look like the odd man out ... again.

Was never a big LaRussa fan. But Tony had nerves of steel and a real talent for irritating / distracting the other team. He looked like a genius last fall. As for Matheny, I'm sure there will be a learning curve but, for now, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. I'm really more interested in how the rotation and bullpen will perform for Lilliquist ... if Loshe's and Garcia's outings are any indication, I'm encouraged.
