Well JB Woodman is basically nothing, so ok? If you insist.
Maybe the Cards see something in Woodman, but he's way down the Jays list of prospects, and strikes out way too much at that low of level that I have a hard time believing he'll ever make it. Maybe last year is more indicitive of who Diaz is than his rookie year but even if that's true this seems like the Cards are selling way too long.
Anyway the Jays needed a different, better option as their 3rd middle infielder for when Travis and Tulo inevitably get hurt so this seems like a really good move.
Didn't Goins have the best batting average with runners in scoring position on the whole team?
Meh, they can use lower level outfielders. Our glut of outfielders is at the MLB ready or close to it level: Fowler, Piscotty, Grichuk, Pham, Sierra, O'Neill, Bader, Mercado. Basically AA up we're filled, but below that, there's room.Why exactly the Cardinals wanted another outfielder in the system is beyond me unless we know for sure we are shipping one or two to Miami for Stanton.

It was really about just opening a roster spot up. He's not good defensively, so he doesn't really add much as the utility bench player. Pretty much just a dump, but we add some minor-league depth, which is better than just releasing a guy.Diaz was an aberration in 2016, but it still seems the Cardinals are selling low here. But it's whatever, they get these things right more often than not.
