Add another starter to the injured list. John Gast got hurt yesterday. Looks like we may finally see Michael Wacha 
#STLCards recall rookie RHP Michael Blazek from Springfield (AA) & place LHP John Gast on the 15-day disabled list.

33-17
Yadi:
2-2 HR, double, 2 walks 4RBI
The guy will win his MVP before he is done...his offense is coming around and his defense, managing of the pitching staff is out of this world

If defense was taken into consideration, I agree that Yadi could win, but since batting stats are really the only thing looked at anymore (MVH -Most Valuable Hitter) it's going to be tough.

Yeah, its pretty unfortunate offensive numbers are all that is looked it. He does SO much more.
Michael Wacha officially called up. Will start at home vs. Kansas City on Thursday

Larry is probably right though...he won't because all anyone looks at are offensive numbers.
I'm not talking offensive numbers..because I know that is how you'll respond. Your next will be the MVP (which is based around offense...as Larry said) and WS (Molina has 2).. His defense..ability to block the plate...shuts down running games...an extra coach on the roster..his management of the pitching staff. You notice we lost one of the known great pitching coaches Dave Duncan and we haven't missed a beat? Who is still behind the plate? If you don't watch Cardinals games, you truly don't understand how good this guy is.
He is often mentioned as the best catcher in baseball by many people.
