I think this point is important because it shows that St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Shildt is putting his money where his mouth is, and walking the walk, so to speak.
A few weeks back, I wrote something up on Shildt saying that having pitchers that fill individual roles isn’t as important as simply having the best and most talented pitchers on the team.
This motto was put to the test when the St. Louis Cardinals were deciding between John Brebbia and Tyler Webb to fill their final roster spot. Looking at the numbers and watching the games, it’s obvious who is better in just about every way, yet it became a question simply because Brebbia throws right handed and Webb throws left handed.
