The Cardinals need to clean up at the cleanup spot.
Hello there, Jose Martinez!
It doesn’t matter that Martinez is a 29-year-old rookie with only 185 big-league plate appearances to his name.
It doesn’t matter that his winding journey to the majors took nearly 10 years and more than 3,600 minor-league plate appearances before the Cardinals gave him a gig late last summer.
If Martinez is overexposed to MLB pitching, we may see his weaknesses exploited. He could lose confidence, and it might mean the end of his big-league dream. But don’t worry about that now. Your team is 3.5 games out of first place, and Martinez is a dependable source of offense. So use him.
