Another look at the Middling Infield

PrintCross one infield solution off the list: The Seibu Lions apparently won't be posting shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima, who climbed quickly up the eliminated-team-blogger power rankings after USS Mariner profiled him on the 12th. It's a shame—with the posting fee Nakajima probably still would have come out as a reasonably priced free agent, and I'd imagine he'd come shorter-term than the average player of his caliber.
He was no sure thing anyway; his numbers are worse than the ones his celebrated Seibu predecessor, Kaz Matsui, managed before getting booed out of New York in 2006; Tad Iguchi, the USS Mariner comparison of choice, and Akinori Iwamura also prefaced their solid Major League careers by putting up incredibly gaudy power numbers in Japan. (Can you imagine a world in which Akinori Iwamura hits 44 home runs and strikes out 173 times in 138 games? Or 1380 games?) But Major League Baseball's justified concern about that kind of translation meant that Nakajima would have been an interesting risk to take as a readymade starting second baseman.
At the moment, then, the Cardinals come into the season with Skip Schumaker penciled in, as planned before he hit .265/.328/.338 and basically replicated an Aaron Miles season (and not, unfortunately, the good one.) Nearer in age to Miles than Daniel Descalso, I'm a little worried about how far back he'll get toward his career numbers, considering how much offensive value he has to provide to be an average second baseman. He hit into bad luck last season, but I worry anyway.
The good news is that he can still be platooned, both on offense and defense; I can only hope Tyler Greene hits enough to force the issue.
Brendan Ryan is also a little old to be so young—29 next season—but I'm comforted by the fact that his slump came in his secondary skill. He lost considerably more offensive value than Schumaker did, but he still had defense enough to be a useful player with an easily discerned skill-set. Schumaker actually improved on defense from last year, but that just left him as... a guy who's about replacement level on offense and defense. Brendan Ryan went from Omar Vizquel to Adam Everett; Skip Schumaker went from Skip Schumaker to Jarrett Hoffpauir.
(To tie this together, while I'm at the jump—when you look at Jarrett Hoffpauir's surprise power, and his AAA success, and his height, doesn't it seem like he'd make a great pick-up for some NPB team looking to import the next Hiroyuki Nakajima?)
I don't have a lot of hope for Tyler Greene or Daniel Descalso as future starters, if only because they seem to have tried incredibly hard to be Ryan and Schumaker's non-union Mexican equivalents; but if the Cardinals sour on their first-string strong-armed, athletic, inconsistent shortstop and unspectacular, left-handed, smooth-swinging second baseman, Memphis will be at the ready with a replacement that can fit right into the system.
Beyond that—Zack Cox can maybe play second base, but while I'm not concerned about his 1-17 trip through the Arizona Fall League I'd like to have some idea of where he'll begin his full-season career and how, exactly, he'll hit when he does it. What does the successful version of 2B Zack Cox look like? Dan Uggla with a .300 average instead of the home runs?
Pete Kozma, meanwhile, is in real danger of being caught by infamous non-hitter Ryan Jackson at this point. They're the same age and Jackson began last season in the Midwest League, so the comparison isn't quite fair, but his.278/.359/.362 line spread between both A-ball leagues is better than Kozma's ever managed in a full season, and Jackson was drafted specifically—even entirely—for his defense.
I'd like to see Kozma succeed, because I think he was terribly mishandled by the Cardinals from the moment he was drafted too soon. But when a polish guy doesn't have polish, you're left with what Jarrett Hoffpauir turns into after Skip Schumaker turns into Jarrett Hoffpauir; to succeed in a return trip to AA next season he's going to have to play with a completely different offensive and defensive profile.
Which is all to say that the Cardinals should hope they're in a position to draft an infielder next season. All the fourth outfielder candidates are left-handed, unfortunately.

I thought I saw somewhere that Luhnow or somebody called Cox a third baseman for now
Maybe that was just in reference to the AFL, but I thought it meant they were putting him at third base to start. Which would be unfortunate but not a huge loss.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
Hadn't that been the plan from the beginning?

I believe Cox played both second and third at Arkansas.
I think Cox was playing more third base than second by the time he was drafted.

I think he was at third a lot more than second in 2009 too. Which still isn’t to say he couldn’t be switched. (Anybody can play 2B, after all)

fair warning... assinine comment better suited for the pd forums
I say fix the middle infield by signing Beltre to play third and then move mister Freese over to second (I mean anyone can play second right?).
and the Cardinals can afford a $140 million dollar payroll, so its doable!
takers?
(really sorry, I couldn’t resist I’m just stuck in the doldrums of having no real news about our team and wanted to liven things up… after all, as Y2S noted no one even commented on crazy lady’s ridiculous hat last night during the God Bless America) Now rally together against me.

I think we're selling Cox's power potential short.
His college numbers, and power numbers, at Arkansas were similar to those of Longoria and Zimmerman (at similar ages). All three played at elite college programs. Don’t know if park effects will skew the comparisons.
That said, if he can play 2B, great. And the sooner the better. Skip blows.

(shame on me, i know). and then i also tried to explain that jaime garcia is better than cole hammels, as he was actually one of the best pitchers in the NL last year and put together one of the best rookie pitching seasons of all time.
am i right?
but anyway, now i really hope he actually tries to argue that with me. i’m prepared.

I prefer the alternate history where Carp shows up wherever Brad Penny is, and forces him to complete rehab
and every time Brad Penny adjusts his mirror, Waino is in the back seat. And Jaime keeps looking at him, rubbing his old scar. And if all else fails, Lohse shows up and keeps asking him how cool his scar is and to take pictures of it.
for some unforeseen reason, Mitchell Boggs is seized with the urge to carry David Freese around instead of letting him walk, an affectation which is politely ignored once it becomes known that Jason Motte’s beard told him to do it.
and the Padres are seized with the burning need to pick up Evan MacLane and Aaron Miles, resulting in the acquisition of Jake Westbrook.

Yeah, but...
2 years of Zimm would give us a chance to know if we were able to resign Pujols. If not, then we can pay Zimm what he’s worth because we’ll have ample salary space. We could do worse going forward than a core of Waino, Lego, Zimmerman, Garcia, Rasmus, etc…
1. We would make a bad-ass, world-series caliber team for 2011.
2. If Zimm walks, we get the picks too, thus hopefully enabling us to recover from losing Miller.

if he breaks out next year, Zimmerman is already a cornerstone type player and the face of his franchise(although Strasburg and Harper will replace him) Rasmus plus Miller would be a bargain

I think you might be underrating Zim's contract and lack of cost controlled years
Rasmus is a bit worse as a player than Zim, but he’s younger and his contract situation is soooooooo much better. Also, he has potential to be as good as Zim. Zim isn’t getting any better.

true enough but middle of the order production and elite defense
at the hot corner is incredibly valuable, Rasmus has potential to be the best CF in MLB but Zimmerman is arguably the best 3B
Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have? Frank Chance 1908
CF > 3B
and Rasmus is gonna earn ~20M less over the next 3 years, plus have another year of club control (should be two, but Mo made a rookie mistake).
Well the girls would turn the color of the avocado when he would drive down the street in his El Dorado... -the modern lovers
IF he continues to develop
but making a trade is about perception Rasmus has rumors of clubhouse malcontent issues, combined with a 32% K rate his perceived value may be less than you think

with the above posts… I think Cox and Miller is too much to give up for Zimmerman. I actually want to see what we can do with this Cox kid can do for us, especially at 2nd (seems to me like that is where he is going to wind up headed).
I think we are bound to see something along the lines of Freese at 3rd with a utilitiarian vet (hopefully renteria) to back up the infield. And I think Miller has to much value for us in particular going forward.
