Let the Taveras era begin with the game winning hit. Standing ovations and curtain calls.

A rookie coming in an tearing it up. I think I seem to remember a player of ours doing that last year. In fact, I think he has Kershaw's scalp on his belt.

Puig sparked LA to get their shit together when he came up last year. Hopefully Taveras can do the same.
BTW, you guys see the rumors on Twitter about Minnesota being interested in Jay? What they hell is he worth? For me, I don't care if they get a "A" prospect for Jay. They can throw in Robinson too. Give them fresh starts. They and the Cardinals need to move on. We need to give Grichuk the job. If he can't do it give it to Bourjas. They both suck, take the defensive hit and put Taveras over there. As long as Jay is in the locker room, he will take AB's away from our future position players.

Jay has a higher batting average then everyone on the Cards except for Molina and Adams.
I am not a Jay fan but to say he has been horrible this year is not fair. |

You watch that game 2 days ago. 2nd inning. Ball hit hard to RF. Jay is about 50 ft behind Wong. One of the slowest players in the league is on 2nd base. He couldn't even make a throw to home plate. Weakest shit arm I've ever seen on a MLB OF. We know who Jay is and what he can do. You really want to keep him?

Well no shit you would settle for less than an A prospect for Jay if we know he is awful what do you think the advance scouts from other teams think?

In think we could take up a collection among us fans and pay another team to take him.

I watched a post game interview with Taveras. I thought he couldn't speak English very well, that he needed a translator?
He seemed to understand and speak English just fine. Maybe I was confused?

He was perfectly understandable. I love Dominican accents though.
Regarding Fruit Ninja and Wacha: He's striking out more than a batter an inning, carrying a legit ERA in the mid-2's (no real batted ball luck), and keeping his walk rate respectable while still learning a curve. We got really lucky with him. Regarding Jay: he's on a nice little streak right now, which means his value will never be higher. His arm isn't good enough to play in a COF spot, nor is his bat (he registers as a league average hitter even when avoiding lefties), he's slow as shit, and he's a bad defensive centerfielder. If you can trade him for a legit bench bat that can hit LHP, do it.
