Paul Goldschmidt shines despite Cardinals' loss
by Chris Schommer | Cardinals Correspondent | Sun, Sep 29th 7:44am EDT
Paul Goldschmidt delivered a solid performance in the Cardinals' narrow 6-5 defeat to the Giants.
Fantasy Impact:
He went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, and a run scored. Despite the loss, Goldschmidt's multi-hit game was a bright spot and could signal a potential upswing in his batting as the season winds down. His season-long batting average of .245, while not stellar, has been bolstered by performances like today's. Fantasy managers should note that while his power numbers have been decent with 22 homers, his ability to drive in runs and hit for extra bases, as seen with his 32 doubles, remains valuable. However, his high strikeout rate and relatively low walk rate continue to cap his overall fantasy ceiling.
