April

In April Matthew Liberatore was on fire. 3.19 ERA, 1.94 FIP, 2.92 xFIP, and 1.2 fWAR. Couple that stat line with Ivan Herrera’s 301 wRC+ and .6 fWAR in 7 games, and that had me pretty excited for the season. Brendan Donovan had over 1 fWAR in the opening month, Nootbaar looked like a really good player, and Victor Scott II and Masyn Winn looked like they could hit above average while playing elite defense. But overall, it was Matthew Liberatore looking like he could be an ace that lit the Cardinals world on fire.

May

In May, Masyn Winn stole the show with 1.1 fWAR, 127 wRC+, while continuing that stellar defense. Alec Burleson was the best hitter, but his defense took away from his value. Meanwhile, Sonny Gray was worth a full win above replacement level that month.
