• Greg Holland and the value of the #59 pick: John weighs the cost of the draft pick the Cardinals forfeited by signing Greg Holland.
• Dexter Fowler’s hitting trick is becoming pretty popular - A Hunt and Peck: Heather has the latest updates on the Cardinals’ trendsetting outfielder.
• Have you ever heard that all sports, including last night’s loss to the Brewers, are indeed bad? You can check out yesterday’s game thread and stlcardsfan4’s recap of the heartbreaking defeat.

The Cardinals are back at it today at 6:40 Central Time as Carlos Martinez squares off against Jhoulys Chacin to wrap up the first road trip of 2018.

Have a good one,
