Well, the Cardinals have started the season much like I expected, winning 1 of 4 against the Dodgers. They could have split the series if it had not been for Marmol's bad bullpen usage on Sunday. At least they won against the Padres last night, with the offense showing signs of life.
Time to move on and brighten the mood with some cards. The first trade package today came from member Sharpie0226.
Anderson Tejeda is one of those rare players who is shown on a card in a team uniform for whom he never played a regular season game. Give me a card of a middle reliever before doing something like this. Nootbaar is scheduled to play some minor league games before joining the Cardinals, hopefully this weekend.
The second trade was with member WLeeBaird73. We worked out a nice Cardinals for Cardinals trade that put a little dent in my stack of Cardinals duplicates.
Ben Baller Chrome cards have lost some of the luster from the initial release, but they are still cool cards. Topps went a little overboard with the baby blue uniform pictures in 2022.
This is the 200th DeJong card in my collection. I still root for him because he is such a great guy in person. He has not started off the greatest for the White Sox, going 1 for 9 in the games. The one hit was a home run.
Childhood friends Liberatore and Gorman need to have big seasons this year. Libby has been moved to the bullpen for now until another starter gets injured. So far Gorman is having a rough go of it, striking out in half of his at bats so far this year.
