After a rather lifeless series from the offense against the juggernaut Houston Astros, the St. Louis Cardinals decided to switch things up a little bit; sending OF Harrison Bader to Memphis. If you would have told me this at the beginning of the season, I would have been shocked.
Bader was coming off of a breakout rookie season where he even placed top five in NL Rookie of the Year voting. Plenty of analysts expected Bader to make the jump to stardom over the course of the 2019 season, but it was never meant to be.
