Most Likely to be Bullied: Paul DeJong

Let’s start off poking fun at one of the sorest subjects among Cardinal fans this season: Paul DeJong.

After an offseason where the club decided not to pursue any of the big name shortstops, Paul DeJong began the first 24 games slashing .130/.209/.208. What many Cardinal fans predicted would happen came to be true: Paul DeJong was awful.

Here is just a drop in the bucket of how Cardinal fans have felt about the now Memphis Redbird shortstop.

Tweets, memes, Redbird Rant comment sections, you name it. They all took a beating on Paul DeJong, and I don’t anticipate that ending any time soon.
