Nimmo is a great team mate, has a high OBP, handles NY media well and improved immensely in CF, but I feel we need a change.
I group up watching baseball in the 80’s and even though I hated the Cardinals of that decade, I admired their lineup. They always had 2 guys leading off that were terrors on the base paths, which I believe distracted the pitchers while pitching to the heart of the order. Nimmo while fast for his age isn’t a threat to steal bases. I also believe starting next year with the new bigger bases that will be the new normal to have speedy players on our teams.
So that’s why I would love to bring Trea over and join our team. Pay him top dollar and he won’t mind playing second base. Also it’s rumored that Philly will be all over him and if they add him that makes their lineup that much more scarier and better than ours.
My vote is to sign Trea (8years $300 mill) and Conforto to a one year deal. You have Canha and Conforto as your DH combo/ 3rd outfielder and McNiel as your everyday left fielder.
A lineup with Trea and Marte leading off is reminiscent of those Bobby Herzog 80’s cardinals teams that I hated but fun to watch.
