## Resource

The St. Louis Cardinals are flying high this season thanks to Jordan Walker and rookie JJ Wetherholt, but their playoff hopes hinge on fixing a glaring weakness: center fielder Victor Scott II, whose bat is barely scraping by with a .187 average and .507 OPS. Patience has run out — enter top prospect Joshua Baez, who’s crushing it in Triple-A with a .904 OPS, 16 homers, and 39 RBIs in under 200 at-bats. Baez isn’t just a better hitter — he’s a solid defender too. The fix is clear: promote Baez and turn this lineup into a true contender.
