Baby Birds

It is not probable, but possible that the 2008 Cardinals line-up could be made up of some very young men this season. There is a bit of what some people might call an on the fly rebuilding program going on is St. Louis. I prefer to look at it more as a “out with the old…” approach. Anyway you want to look at it there are young faces up and down the Cardinals 40 man roster, which has an average age of 29.6. If the stars align one humid night is St. Louis this could be the Cards starting line-up.

1. Cesar Izturis 28
2. Rick Ankiel 29
3. Albert Pujols 28
4. Chris Duncan 26
5. Colby Rasmus 21
6. David Freese 24
7. Brenden Ryan 26
8. Yadier Molina 25
9. Adam Wainwright 26

All of these players are in there twenties. Colby Rasmus, has only been of legal drinking age for less than five months. The oldest player on this list, at least the oldest player with a birth certificate, is Rick Ankiel at 29 years of age. He might be the oldest, but I think it’s safe to say no one will be calling him “Gramps” any time soon.
