    Cardinals 2026 St. Louis Cardinals

    I'm still looking to make a couple trades, but here is the team as of now:

    Acquisitions
    Trade
    3B Leif Schauer
    1B Israel Rodriguez
    SS Shauna Parks
    SP Stewie Griffin

    FA
    SP Dave Campbell
    SP Kazufumi Yoshimi
    2B Alberto Doriva
    C Joan Quagmire
    MR Mickey McFinnigan

    Departures
    Retired
    2B Rusty Kuntz retires ...He will be in the Hall Of Fame!
    SS Hanley Ramirez retires ...He will be in the Hall Of Fame!
    3B Barney Cabrera retires ...

    Trade
    LF Chad Gallien
    SS Antonio Avendano (Starting SS)
    SP Judge Roy Snyder
    MR Artie Ziff
    C Paul Alcaide
    SS Carlos Fernandez
    SP Milhouse Van Houten
    CL Winfred Culp (Took over for Hall of Fame closer Huston Street)
    3B Marcos Fermoso (Starting 3B)
    C Sanjay Quickie Mart
    SP Agustin Ramirez
    SS Wayland Smithers

    Lineup vs. RHP/LHP
    1. C Cobbs
    2. LF Ramirez RHP / RF Lovejoy LHP
    3. CF Ogai
    4. 3B Schauer
    5. 1B I-Rod
    6. RF Brown / 2B Arruza LHP
    7. 2B Arruza / LF Ramirez LHP
    8. SS Parks
    9. pitcher

    Bench
    C Quagmire
    1B/2B/3B/SS Ries
    1B/LF/RF Curbelo
    CF/RF Morales
    OF Brown (vs. LHP)
    LF/RF Lovejoy (vs. RHP)

    I fully expect this team to score over 1000, possibly 1100, runs. It's pretty crazy that I have to have Curbelo on the bench, but unless Ramirez retires in-season or there is an injury that's where he'll be. SS is the only weakness in this lineup. I'm hoping Parks can increase that eye close to talent and play solid D. That's all I want unless I can acquire an upgrade.

    Pitching
    The pitching is unsettled as I'm hoping to make a couple deals before opening day to sort everything out. I've got too many starters. I've already moved Pablo Hernandez back to the pen, but there isn't room for everyone.

    Starting Rotation
    1. LHP Grove, Jr. (Cy Young winner)
    2. RHP Anderton (22-game winner)
    3. RHP Yoshimi
    4. LHP Campbell
    5. RHP Castillo

    Mopup
    1. RHP Cascio
    2. LHP McFinnigan

    Middle Reliever
    1. RHP Dearmas
    2. LHP Hernandez
    3. LHP Dimas
    4. RHP Cascio

    Setup
    1. RHP Cambra
    2. LHP Hernandez

    Closer
    1. RHP Miller

    Pitching has sorted itself out after ST. Dearmas is first in the rotation if there any injuries or under-performance for a prolonged period of time.



    Final Thoughts
    This team really let me down against the San Diego Fathers during the playoffs last season after winning a personal sim league record 114 wins for me. Seriously, I was embarrassed by their performance. The pitching wasn't that great in the playoffs, but it doesn't matter when your offense goes Rip Van Winkle on you. I don't expect this team to make the same mistake as last year's team.

    118 wins, two sweeps and then a World Series victory in 5 over... the Robo Rays.

    But Atlanta is definitely one of the teams they CAN beat.

    That's your only goal? You don't want to develop your prospects and see improvement from other players? Just win more games? Wow.

    That was goal last season... And it failed. Lol. I always want to develop prospects, I always want to better my team. I always want to win games. I hate tanking. But I know my team isn't good right now, so the team goal is to win more than last year.

    It appears we're done trading for now so my pitching and lineups are set (updated first post).
