It’s good to have him back either way, anxious to see how he does.

Freese is healthy I think can get 20 homers…maybe more

Wasn’t he initially EXPECTED to miss 4 to 6 weeks of the season?

“The Cardinals selected Komatsu from the Nationals in last winter’s Rule 5 draft. St. Louis now has ten days to determine the 24-year-old’s fate. The Cardinals could work out a trade with the Nationals that would allow them to keep Komatsu, they could return him to Washington, or they could trade him to a third team. Komatsu appeared in 15 games for the Cardinals, playing all three outfield positions. He has a .302/.389/.434 line in four seasons as a minor leaguer.”

Especially with Lance still being out.
