A St. Louis Cardinals prospect has logged an impressive slash line to start the season and could potentially be an All-Star slugger's replacement this summer.
The St. Louis Cardinals lineup has been struggling from top to bottom all season long and if things don't turn around soon, there could be a few sluggers on the trade block this summer.
Baker is batting .216 with 16 extra-base hits including nine home runs, 32 RBIs and a .803 OPS in 125 at-bats for Triple-A Memphis this season. The career .261 hitter has seen a dip in average but a first baseman's job is to damage and he's done so thus far. This will be back-to-back successful seasons for Baker at the plate if he continues with the way he's going. Last season, the young slugger belted 33 home runs with 98 RBIs and recorded a staggering 1.159 OPS throughout 84 games played for Triple-A Memphis.
