Buy or Sell: St. Louis Cardinals Early Season Performances


Tommy Edman
2022 Stats: .313/.400/.563, 3 HR, 1 2B, 8 RBI, 1 SB, 7 SO, 1.0 WAR
Verdict: Sell
Tommy Edman has gotten off to a hot start for the Redbirds, rebounding from a poor spring to be one of the best hitters on the club so far this season.
Despite this incredible start, Cardinal fans should expect Edman’s numbers shift across the board to be more around his career averages. Expect to see Edman slash closer to .275/.350/.490 and have an uptick in doubles and stolen bases while seeing his home runs and RBIs drop.
Edman has proven so far this season that he deserves a role in the every day lineup and can be a great contributor to the winning club, but to expect his stats to remain this incredible would be a huge stretch for the Cardinal second baseman. Expect him to continue to provide elite defensive at second base for the time being, and potentially shift his way over to short stop if Nolan Gorman receives a promotion in the near future.
