For the twenty first consecutive season, the ZiPS projection system is unleashing a full set of prognostications. For extra info on the ZiPS projections, please seek the advice of this 12 months’s introduction and MLB’s glossary entry. The group order is chosen by lot, and the penultimate group is the St. Louis Cardinals.
Batters
The 2024 St. Louis Cardinals skilled a little bit of a bounce again from the group’s worst season in many years, however in a 12 months the place it took 89 wins to seize the ultimate NL Wild Card spot, the Crimson Birds had been nonetheless effectively wanting having the ability to squeeze again into the playoffs. Whereas issues had been sunnier than they had been the 12 months earlier than, the Cardinals had been outscored on the season, and neither of the celebrities within the lineup, Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado, returned to their 2023 type. It doesn’t seem as if the Playing cards really feel like they’re on the precipice of an October return, as they’ve largely spent the offseason making an attempt to commerce Arenado.
May Arenado truly be underrated at this level? Whereas his offensive manufacturing has come down fairly a bit from its peak, his 149 wRC+ in 2022 was doubtless at all times a late-era outlier, and a 102 wRC+ is hardly awful for a 3rd baseman. He’s not a star with no resurgence on the plate, however he was no less than a superb participant in 2024, amassing 3.1 WAR because of excellent protection on the scorching nook. I believe the notion of Arenado’s 2024 is likely to be so much worse than his season truly was. Once I posted the depth chart graphic on social media, it led to a few conversations about ZiPS projecting a comeback season, despite the fact that the two.9 WAR it forecasts is under his 2024 quantity!
With two obvious exceptions, ZiPS largely thinks that the Playing cards are ample to good across the diamond. Masyn Winn initiatives because the lineup’s second-best participant, and although ZiPS isn’t loopy about Thomas Saggese, it likes Brendan Donovan sufficient to finish up with a superb second base WAR quantity, assuming the latter will get the plate appearances projected on our Depth Charts. The system initiatives that Willson Contreras will probably be adequate offensively that he could possibly be an affordable first baseman, and although it pulls again significantly on Iván Herrera’s rookie offense, the tandem of him and Pedro Pagés additionally appears strong.
The place ZiPS is sad is within the non-Lars Nootbaar parts of the outfield. In middle discipline, Victor Scott II’s protection isn’t sufficient to fully cancel out a bleak offensive projection, and the pc doesn’t see Michael Siani as offering a lot of a shove. Scott’s a bizarre one to challenge in that he truly hit fairly decently in Double-A in 2023, however he was completely horrific within the minors final 12 months, placing up a 59 wRC+. Word that that’s not the interpretation, however his precise quantity. Scott hit considerably higher in July after altering his stance, placing up a .711 OPS for the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds, however that trace of manufacturing disappeared within the majors and he earned a demotion in mid-September.
As for the opposite exception, Jordan Walker, ZiPS truly thinks he improved his protection considerably in 2024, to the purpose that he’s not a pure designated hitter, only a pretty awful proper fielder who may play if he hits. However that’s form of the issue. Walker now has about 500 PA of not hitting Triple-A pitchers. If Scott had a 93 wRC+ at Triple-A, it might be trigger for optimism, but it surely’s fully insufficient for somebody who is meant to be valued fully for his bat. Walker isn’t previous, and you may squint and nonetheless form of see his upside, however the odds are in opposition to him being an actual contributor in 2025.
Pitchers
I’m undecided why ZiPS is instantly reminded of a few knuckleballers, Phil Niekro and Tom Candiotti, when it appears at Sonny Grey, however eradicating them from the big cohort doesn’t change Grey’s projection, which makes him the favourite to characterize the Cardinals on the All-Star Sport this summer season. It’s exhausting to inform how critically the group actually thought-about buying and selling Grey, however he does have some fairly respectable worth with two years left on his contract. In fact, that assumes that his forearm tendinitis isn’t one thing darker, however actually, you may say that about each pitcher who has ever existed.
He initiatives as having decrease long-term upside than both Quinn Mathews or Tink Therefore, however ZiPS is more and more a fan of Michael McGreevy, who has good management and retains the ball down, which has worth in entrance of what ZiPS initiatives to be an above-average infield. Each Mathews and Therefore challenge as official starters proper now, with ZiPS somewhat extra assured in regards to the former for 2025. ZiPS isn’t anticipating fairly nearly as good a 12 months from Erick Fedde, but it surely stays snug with the again of St. Louis’ rotation, each when it comes to its non-horrendous high quality and its affordable depth.
It is likely to be a stretch to say that ZiPS sees the Cardinals bullpen as “Ryan Helsley and another guys,” however their hard-throwing nearer is the one reliever who the pc can summon any pleasure about. Helsley misplaced a few strikeouts per sport getting back from his 2023 accidents, however ZiPS isn’t fearful about that, as his velocity is unbroken and his contact fee is in step with that of a whiffier pitcher. Ryan Fernandez, JoJo Romero, and John King all challenge as a bit above common, and the pc would put Matthew Liberatore in that group as effectively. ZiPS is slightly meh on the low-leverage portion of the bullpen, and whereas the Cardinals may definitely add an arm or two there, this doesn’t seem like a group that intends to make a lot as a ripple in free company.
Not like most seasons, ZiPS does’t see the Cardinals as being in the identical tier because the Brewers and Cubs. St. Louis has higher projections than the Pirates and Reds, no less than for now, however even then, solely barely. It has been an extremely quiet offseason in St. Louis exterior of the fixed Arenado rumors, with the group doing nearly nothing, and we’re now only some weeks from the opening of spring coaching. The group’s greatest signing this winter? Ryan Vilade. Even chucking up the sponge can be extra attention-grabbing, and possibly extra useful than cosplaying as the warmth demise of the universe.

Gamers are listed with their most up-to-date groups wherever potential. This consists of gamers who’re unsigned or have retired, gamers who will miss 2025 as a result of damage, and gamers who had been launched in 2024. So sure, when you see Joe Schmoe, who give up baseball again in August to type a Norwegian Ukulele Dixieland Jazz band that solely covers songs by The Smiths, he’s nonetheless listed right here deliberately. ZiPS is assuming a league with an ERA of 4.11.
Hitters are ranked by zWAR, which is to say, WAR values as calculated by me, Dan Szymborski, whose surname is spelled with a z. WAR values would possibly differ barely from those who seem within the full launch of ZiPS. Lastly, I’ll advise anybody in opposition to — and would possibly karate chop anybody responsible of — merely including up WAR totals on a depth chart to provide projected group WAR. It is very important do not forget that ZiPS is agnostic about taking part in time, and has no details about, for instance, how shortly a group will name up a prospect or what veteran has fallen into disfavor.
As at all times, incorrect projections are both brought on by misinformation, a non-pragmatic actuality, or by the skillful sabotage of our buddy and former editor. You may, nonetheless, nonetheless get mad at me on Twitter or on BlueSky.
