## Resource

The St. Louis Cardinals are in a tight division race, but their catcher Ivan Herrera is becoming a defensive liability—runners have stolen 50 straight bases with him behind the plate, and he hasn’t thrown out a baserunner since September. Despite limited catching time, Herrera’s offensive game is elite: .249 batting average, .384 OBP, 83 hits, 11 homers, and 40 RBIs. The Cardinals are stuck between a defensive nightmare and a powerful bat—what’s a manager to do? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
