By most all accounts, the St. Louis Cardinals have outperformed early expectations of the first year of the rebuild.

It’s no secret that Masyn Winn is an elite defender. The Gold Glove trophy on his mantle is proof, but how much offense does he need to produce to become a part of the St. Louis Cardinals core? You need look no further than Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith as he and Masyn share a […]
