DANIEL DESCALSO RUMORS
St. Louis Cardinals: DAniel Descalso's days in St. Louis should be numbered
Entering the 2013 season, the St. Louis Cardinals had obvious question marks up the middle. So many question marks in fact, that they pulled an old Tony La Russa trick and converted Matt Carpenter, a natural third baseman, into a second baseman to create a platoon situation with Daniel Descalso.
Carpenter has pulled his weight and held his own at second, but with David Freese struggling...
OFF THE MARK
Cardinals teammates try to spell 'Rzepczynski'
St Louis Cardinals reliever Mark Rzepczynski has one of the most difficult names in the majors to spell. Two non-consecutive Z's? What? Anyway, in this edition of the Cardinals BirdsiView web series, St Louis teammates Joe Kelly and Daniel Descalso try to spell Rzepczynski's last name, largely to failure before finally managing to get it right. Why couldn't his last...
Pete Kozma and BABIP
Ask any closet Sabermetrician and they will tell you that Pete Kozma's 2012 stretch run was a fluke. Call it a small sample size aberration or just plain luck, but Kozma is NOT a .300 hitter and, after starting this season hitting .333 through the first 6 games, he is starting to come back to earth, hitting just .176 over his last 5 games.
Sabermetricians will point to Kozma...
St. Louis Cardinals: Daniel Descalso gets start at shortstop
So far, so good for the St. Louis Cardinals at the shortstop position this season. Through the team's first 10 games, the club has received suitable play from former first round pick Pete Kozma. The youngster has solidified the position after the team found out very early in spring training that Rafael Furcal would be unavailable and would need to undergo Tommy John surgery...
Cardinals second base battle to continue into the season
According to Derrick Goold, the Cardinals second base battle will continue into the regular season, with "performance and need dictating the starter."
What does this all mean?
Well, it means that what once started as an experiment to find another way to get Matt Carpenter's bat into the lineup and make him into a super utility player is quickly becoming a potential...
Winter Warm Up: The Spring Struggle at Second?
Two of the most discussed attendees at the Cardinals Winter Warm Up have been Daniel Descalso and Matt Carpenter, and their respective places on the team…which happens to potentially be one in the same. While there is no question that with good health, both will break camp in March as members of the Opening Day roster, but in what capacity is up in the air.
The second base spot...

St. Louis Cardinals need more Daniel Descalso
The St. Louis Cardinals have used a trio of second basemen this year as they’ve muddled to a 58-49 record heading into play Sunday that mirrors the mess the team has at the second-base position.
It’s time for the Cardinals to make a playoff push, but to do so they will also need a regular second baseman who plays fantastic defense and can get a key hit when necessary. That...
Why does Daniel Descalso get a free pass?

St. Louis Cardinals fans love to pile on Tyler Greene for his inept production in 2012. Cardinals fans have every right to get all over Greene, who is hitting just .220 on the season. Greene has been so bad that manager Mike Matheny has done his best to limit his appearances...
Descalso just misses out on 'Linsanity'
As timing would have it, Daniel Descalso just missed out on witnessing greatness. At least, that's what the unrelenting attention on NBA point guard Jeremy Lin would have you believe.
