Kelly or Lynn maybe. For crissakes Lynn won 18 games last year.
I think DJ was talking about throwing in Kelly and Shumaker. Thats too much for me. I think Kelley would be your #2 or #3 starter. He throws in the high 90's and doesn't walk a lot of hitters. He's a top notch talent. And he's the grandson of Machine Gun Kelly. Think of the marketing.  |
Yeah, I'd expect more to be going St. Louis's way than Calixte in that scenario.
Seems like St. Louis will be in a good spot, with a surplus of young, power righthanders the Cardinals can dangle for a key piece.
With Calixte and Mondesi, the Royals could be in a similar spot (not now, but if both have the seasons the Royals brass think they will). SS and young, controllable SPs are some of the most valuable chips to have in excess. I could see some sort of matchup there down the road, but just a random thought.
