St Louis Cardinals

Baseball is a game with many faces. Pitchers, catchers, big bats, managers...There are so many intricate parts to a great team, and the St. Louis Cardinals are historically one of the greatest teams.

Making one's mark as a player is not easy, and unfortunately some slip through the cracks, never truly getting the attention they deserve.

In no particular order, I've picked out 5 players from Cardinals history who I would consider underrated.

This season has a familiar tune to it. It’s a lot like 2011, when the Cardinals lost Adam Wainwright for the season.

The 2013 season is now in full swing.

After 10 games, the St. Louis Cardinals are in sole possession of first atop the NL Central with a 6-4 record. But how have they gotten there?

By comparing each major player's current statistics to their 2012 numbers, I've attempted to measure their success against what is expected of them. 

We don't know what the future has in store for the Cardinals, but if these grades have set a precedent, we may be seeing great things.

Friday night's game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Milwaukee Brewers was destined to be an interesting game. Not because of a division rivalry, but because of the story behind the two men taking the mound.

The battle of veteran pitcher vs. rookie stud in many ways went as it should.

Once the Cardinals finish up their West Coast swing through Arizona and San Francisco, they'll find themselves smack-dab in the middle of a duel against their fiercest competition for the NL Central crown, the Cincinnati Reds.

When it comes to classy organizations, the Cardinals remain perched at the top of the pecking order.

Adam Wainwright’s new five-year, $97.5 million contract extension further justifies the claim.

With Shelby Miller preparing to make an impact at the major league level to start the season, the focus on prospects within the St. Louis Cardinals farm system will continue to shift toward the next generation.

If there’s one young hitter capable of making a successful jump from Double-A to the major leagues, it’s Oscar Taveras.

As the spring begins to wrap up, things that were once question marks are becoming clear for the Cardinals.

The coming celebration for Oscar Taveras’ promotion to the big leagues will be historic in St. Louis.

John Hart, the former general manager of the Indians and Rangers, compared Taveras to former Giants slugger Barry Bonds, according to MLB.com.
