Not playoff caliber in Quality Starts, Fielding, K to BB ratio and OPS and thats before looking at the bullpen.I'm afraid you are correct. Kind of a bummer. I just think this team is more than 1 player away from being a major threat. It'd be nice to sit back and develop for next year.
An interesting contrast to what the Cards are going is happening over in KC. They've completely given up. I was arguing the Cards should've done that last year but they're still straddling the middle.
The Cardinals were able to get away with a ton when they had Pujols, Holliday, Carpenter and/or Wainwright. When you don't have any of those guys then the Cardinals way is just a .500 team
Its all about developing the young players right now imo
