Wonder of wonders that Edman has played well in LA when they haven't stuck his ass in CF and hoped for the best. Dude was a GG shortstop who would've been a MASSIVE asset at 2b and we insisted on putting him in the OF where he would've been, at best, passable.
And in the process we destroyed all the offensive momentum and progress he'd built (unsurprisingly, under Shildt).
Everything this team has done for the better part of the last decade has simply been wrong.

Edman was a five-win player in 2022.
The Cards basically took pennies on the dollar for Edman when they acquired a low-ceiling pitcher like Erick Fedde for him. Fedde is a watered down version of Miles Mikolas without the groundball lean. Tommy Pham lasted only a few weeks with them.
