Can we now list the other examples where the Cardinals chose not to go be the highest bidder? I'm gonna say that list is bigger than 2.

Pujols? Heyward? I'm not a Cardinals fan so you can help out a little here, I'm assuming. |

Especially when we have the amount of situations that have gone the other way in the past however many years we wanna set. |

They had David Price all wrapped up and the Sox came in at the last minute with a bigger deal and the Cards chose not to go there. The dude that pitched at MU and was basically a home grown kid that they didn't wanna overspend on would be another. The Pujols thing is what it is. I'd have preferred to have kept him, but once the amount of money came in there, it was done. |
Also the organizations ability to celebrate "coming in 2nd" in terms of free agent deals is probably a pretty damning fact in my mind.

Good to see you brought a real strong argument to the table. |

But I also don't really know how strong of an argument the Heyward one is when he's clearly shown to have been over paid and not worth the contract. Looks like everyone dropped the ball there. |
It's a hell of a lot better than an argument from a Cardinals fan saying they don't try and can't name a single player they came in 2nd on that doesn't look like an albatross today.

I'm to lazy to look up the many examples we've had the last couple years where we'eve been fed "we tried, just came up short, gotta keep the powder dry" so ok.
And sure they try. The try just hard enough to appear they try hard. |
Couple of the international signings come to mind as well where they didn't want to "overspend"
|
But I guess I shouldn't be too upset over it when the last couple big free agent spends they had were Mike Leake and Fowler.
