Cardinals May Do Better This Year But Not Much
The St. Louis Cardinals, likely the NL's most improved, could win a dozen more games than 1956 yet still place fourth. Manager Freddie Hutchinson cites stronger pitching and added power with Del Ennis and Kenny Boyer plus Moon, Cheney, and Jones. Center field remains a concern as Del Greco Harmon and rookie Smith struggle, while Hal Smith and Hobie Landrith bolster the catching. Stan Musial is hailed as a marvel by Hutchinson.
