Lars Nootbaar has been awfully good since gaining a promotion from Memphis and it seems as if the Cardinals have finally hit Payday in their outfield bench.
As of August 31, 2021, Nootbaar is providing a .257/.338/.457 slash line, with three “Moon Pies”. He has provided some needed stability serving in the left-Twix bench role, something the 3 Musketeers of Justin Williams, Lane Thomas, and Justin Williams couldn’t accomplish.
It’s probably a stretch to say that Nootbaar has been “wunderbar”. His play has not been decadently marvelous. But, by my evaluations, he’s at least been “gas station candy bar” good.
