As you can see, his average jumped from .348 to .385 with one 2-3 day, that shows how small these sample sizes are.

Another name to note is Cesar Valera. Younger than De La Cruz and off to a better start.

Could this account for the slow start? Needing to get used to real game conditions?

Today has not been a good day in regards to Cards news. Though I’m disappointed with the De La Cruz news, I’m not really worried yet. Obviously not the start we had hoped for but I think he will put it all together, still VERY young and from some articles I’ve read his struggles are pretty normal. Also disappointed with the Bighames update. I was really interested with this pick and thought he wouldn’t sign. Do the Cards not see him as a SS? Thats what made the pick appealing to me.

The cardinals arent going to pay 1.1 million for someone who they dont really think will do well.
