Sports Column | Bucky Dent: Shannon's Right: Cards Aren't Very Good 안전놀이터

The lone thing St. Louis is gathering from this year is disappointment. Lament that it's squandered a great year from Adam Wainwright, who no longer resembles an old Adam Wainwright yet the old Adam Wainwright. 

Lament that the Nolan Arenado exchange has turned out lovely ineffectively. It isn't so much that Arenado has been awful, in light of the fact that he hasn't, yet it's that Austin Gomber is partaking in a decent year for the Rockies and that Arenado may very well choose to conjure his player choice to test free office. 

On the off chance that Arenado did, what convincing explanation have the Cardinals offered him to keep close by? An offense that thrashes and flops as regularly as it associates? Pitchers who can't toss strikes in pressure circumstances? The executives that reacts to needs for beginning pitching by playing at the edges and procuring the cleaned up Jon Lester and J.A. Happ? 

Not adequate, except if you're into watching displays like All-Star Alex Reyes and no-star Justin Miller collaborating to stroll in four straight runs, as they did in Thursday night's ludicrous misfortune to Atlanta. 

As we've shrouded in this space previously, ability judgment hasn't generally been a strength of this front office, tracing all the way back to the heartbreaking demise of uber-prospect Oscar Taveras in October 2014. 

Taveras would have been this present club's right defender for a very long time or more. Barely any swings in this association whenever were better than his. An emotional squeeze homer in Game 2 of the 2014 NLCS against San Francisco was confirmation he could deliver under the most splendid lights.
