BenFred: How Cardinals view DeJong moving forward could shape offseason interests

Here are the highlights from sports columnist Ben Frederickson's weekly chat with St. Louis sports fans.

Q: Can Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong be fixed? Should the Cardinals go shortstop shopping this offseason?

A: I think DeJong is a better hitter than what he has become as of late, but I have questions about if he's going to be able to prove that with the Cardinals. Something is not working. His OPS+ has fallen every season since his debut.

That's more than 1,000 at-bats over the last three seasons in which DeJong has been a below-average MLB hitter.
