It probably just confirms that Taveras can't handle CF, which was assumed anyway to be the case, but some rotisserie owners and some Cardinal fans who don't believe in defense had faint hope of an ugly outfield of Craig-Taveras-Holliday.
Craig starts at 1B or RF. RF Taveras still might begin the year in AAA or might begin with the big club, and probably battles 1B Adams for playing time. Same plan as before this trade was made. Guys do get hurt, so an injury, even early in the season, to Craig or Adams or Holliday still means likely full time atbats for Taveras.
Best hope for Taveras owners is that the Cardinals trade Adams and one of their arms for a shortstop.
