Jose Fermin had an RBI single and a stolen base as the Cardinals' left fielder in Monday's 5-4 win over the Marlins.Statcast says the single through the left side of the infield left his bat at 111.4 mph. We're guessing the calibrations were a little off there, though, given that Fermin has never eclipsed 105.7 mph as a major leaguer. Still, Fermin is pretty interesting as perhaps the Cardinals' best leadoff option with Brandon Donovan gone. The 26-year-old hit .283/.377/.417 in 70 major league plate appearances last season and came in at .300/.428/.485 in Triple-A. He might not be a mixed-league guy even if he does wind up playing regularly, but he's an NL-only sleeper.
