Furthermore, it assumes that it's an impossibility that the Cardinals would have bumped up their payroll to account for the other moves. There is more than one way to skin the proverbial cat. Either way, **** him, it's over with. |

So Motte has elbow issues. Not surprising the way he puts the stress on the elbow. Probably start the season on the DL.
Methany pencils in Boggs as the closer. Boggs was good last year but I just don't trust the guy to be consistent. MAYBE he has matured. I'm damn glad we have Rosenthal in case Boggs pulls an Izzy/Franklin. Now, that guy I trust but he is more valuable as a starter in the long term. |
Matheny. The guy doesn't do meth.

Free agent right-hander Kyle Lohse is signing with the Milwaukee Brewers, according to multiple reports Monday. Lohse, 34, was 16-3 with a 2.86 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 33 starts last year for the St. Louis Cardinals. He had a difficult time finding a team because of the league's new draft pick compensation system. The Brewers have to forfeit the 17th overall pick in the June draft to get Lohse. |

I was thinking that he might be sitting until June, when the MLB draft happens and he no longer costs a pick to sign. |

Shelby is now the #5 SP. Glad to see he won it.

It's a good thing for the near term for the Brewers, without question. Long-term, it's a win for the Cards. |

Lohse was strong in St. Louis after drinking the Dave Duncan koolaid, but how many of those guys have succeeded after leaving St. Louis? It's a lot of money (though 1/2 of what he was looking for) and a valuable draft chip for a guy who is (relatively) old, has a bad injury history, doesn't strike out hitters, and has been awful outside the Cardinals in his career. |
Quote:
Terrible deal for the Brewers. Far too much compensation for a pitcher who cannot get the swing and miss. |
