A day after giving [my thoughts on opening day](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2016/04/opening-day-cardinal-notes/),
others have chimed in. [Here is Dan Buffa’s take](http://www.stlsportsminute.com/2016/cardinals/cardinals-10-takeaways-from-opening-day/),
which touches on pretty much everything.

I also mentioned [Jeremy Hazelbaker](http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hazelje01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.nyrdcast.com);
[Son’s of Sam Horn](http://sonsofsamhorn.com/baseball/teams/nl-central/st-louis-cardinals/mlb-debut-jeremy-hazelbaker/)
breaks down Hazelbaker’s long journey to a Major League at bat. It’s a good story.

I stroll through Reddit about once a day to see if there are any good articles out
there. One Reddit user [broke down the average age of some of the NL teams](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cardinals/comments/4deho2/how_old_are_the_cardinals_i_made_some_tables_and/).
The Cardinals are in a good spot compared to the division, so take that [Jason Heyward](http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/heywaja01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.nyrdcast.com).

Finally, I created a [Salary Matrix for the Cardinals Conclave](http://www.cardsconclave.com/2016/04/04/cardinal-salary-matrix-04042016/);
all the payroll up to 2021 is included. Very handy for Cardinal fans.
