Though Sanders shows no signs of wearing down, maybe someone else will, but not him. Second, while Edmonds shows some signs of injury, I think he'll be fine for this year. Taguchi will split time with Lankford, maybe eventually becoming the starting left fielder for the Cardinals if Lankford doesn't keep hitting.

Taguchi was optioned back to AAA Memphis. The Cardinals said that he's not expected to be in the minors long. Cardinals' manager Tony La Russa said "[Taguchi] is a really important member of the team," and "I guaranteed that he'll be part of the playoff roster if we make it. You see the way he's used. He's really important to us." [Link - MLB.com]

It's quite possible that he will end up platooning in left field with the left handed Ray Lankford, and I imagine he will play a lot, as long as he hits reasonably well at the major league level, which he has in the past, as the center fielder is somewhat injury prone, and the right fielder is 36 or 37.
