Good question. Given the low scores lately, the vastly improved OF defense has become even more important (take Scott's catch in the 7th last night). Nootbaar has always profiled better in the corners. Not sure Cardinals think it's worth it to sacrifice defense at the moment.

@katiejwoo But Noot over VS2 in CF could raise those scores in theory. The give and take of the defense for the offense is a hard one to tackle. Does Noot produce more runs than VS2 saves? I think it’s a tough equation
@katiejwoo 100% agree, Noot is better at the corners. Any updates on Edman's timeline? It seems to me Scott would benefit from some time in AAA to find his bat.
@katiejwoo If they are prioritizing defense, does that imply they could be considering a Walker demotion? I know his defense has been improved. Do they believe that’s real?
@katiejwoo I imagine that there could be an argument made for Noot in CF helping to raise those low scores.
@katiejwoo Didn’t Noot get hurt while playing center last year? I thought Oli said something to the effect Noot wouldn’t play center if it could be helped.
@katiejwoo Until they start scoring some runs they’ll win more games with the gloves than the bats. And solid outings like Lynn’s last night
@katiejwoo Hey Katie, honest question. Is Burleson deceased?
