It is clear from the results of the season and the postseason that the Cardinals must improve. They were a solid team this season, but they were clearly a tier below teams like the Cubs, Dodgers, Yankees, Rays, A’s, and Padres. It is clear that some of the team’s struggles were due to the difficulties with COVID and a schedule filled with double-headers. However, that is not the whole story. It is impossible to look at the Cardinals lineup and not see mediocrity. There were very few players who were legitimately dangerous to opposing hitters.
