Matt Adams had incredible promise at the start of his St. Louis Cardinals career. He showed power when needed and was surprisingly spry at first base. Then the Mike Matheny regime did everything they could to ruin the promising young slugger.
I wrote at the time of Adams’ departure that MLB would get the chance to see what kind of hitter was Adams just because he would no longer be under the ineptitude of John Mabry. And I was right as Big City found his swagger again and found his swing.
