I don’t necessarily intend to write about players I don’t think the Cardinals will ever get. It feels like a waste of time. But well, I don’t know who I could write about if I focused on players I thought the Cardinals might get. It’s a short list and most of the list aren’t very interesting players or difference makers. But I think I can justify talking about Munetaka Murakami. Because if the Cardinals are believers in him, he should be a free agent target.
All due respect to Nolan Gorman, all due respect to Thomas Saggese, to Jose Fermin, maybe even to Alec Burleson, Murakami is the kind of guy who pushes them all to the side.
