TLR loves the swiss army knife guys. Given that Haerther is a former 3B, I’d try to get him some starts at that position this coming season to prepare him for a potential roll as a Tony style utility player. Who knows when Spiezio is going to have another relapse?

It’s encouraging for me to think of a 4th outfielder with some considerable pop in his bat. The fact that he can occasionally take a walk also bodes well for him.

Haerther had the 6th highest OPS in the Cardinals minor league system this year. He did that while starting the year with an injured hamate bone and playing the last half while recovering from surgery on that bone. He was also the leading Springfield hitter during the playoffs. I don’t know if Haerther will be much of a major leaguer but I’m pretty sure it is too early to give up on him.

It’s pretty clear to me that amongst the Cardinals hodepodge of 4th/5th OF types that Haerther is one of the best.
