Cardinals Looking to Trade for 1st Baseman

The cardinals have been shutout two straight games, and they were both at Busch, where they have the best home record in the majors. The last five games, the Cardinals have scored 1,2,4,0,0 runs, and the only runs scored on Monday came from one hit, Kolten Wong's grand slam. The worst part about this too, is that the pitching has been good, really good. John Lackey on Wednesday night got the loss going 8 innings, giving up just 2 hits and 1 run, off a Jay Bruce solo shot in the 2nd. St. Louis had just four hits each in the last 2 games. They need to get a guy with a solid, consistent bat, specifically at the first base position.

One player I would like the Cardinals to trade for would be Adam Lind of the Brewers. Lind is hitting .285 with 91 hits, 16 homers and 60 RBI. If we were to get Lind, I would expect someone like Jon Jay or Peter Bourjos to be traded. I have seen that the Brewers might trade Carlos Gomez and have also seen the name Gerardo Parra being talked about in trade conversations which means they would need an outfielder if one of them were to be traded. But, the Cardinals and Brewers being in the same division, makes this trade less likely to happen.

Another guy that has been talked about in possible Cardinals trades is Chris Davis from the Orioles. Davis is hitting .243 with 85 hits, 24 homers and 65 RBI. I'm not sure who the Cardinals would trade for Davis, maybe some prospects. But of the two I would rather see the Cardinals go for Lind because of batting average and on base percentage, but either one, I think, would help the Cardinals with their offense and help them win the division and make a push towards the World Series.
