The Cardinals are one of the few franchises that appear to have a VP of common sense. It looks like the Yakuza whacked whoever it was in Seattle.

I'd like to see a SS of the future. Ready in two years. We only bought some time.

I agree with the move Mo made. What teams were demanding was outrageous. Better to not have a SS of the future. Still need to get one. While we are at it, get a hot shot high school Catcher to take over for Molina in 4 years.

Yep, perfect fit for whats available in the market. RH bat off the bench and insurance if case Wong falls on his face.
Mo is batting 100% this off season.

Not looking good there. Oscar Mercado is probably the best and he was a second round pick last year, is just 18. He could be a ways away. Juan Herrera came from the Indians but hasn't played above low A ball. Greg Garcia is the closest to being ready, and may make the club in spring, but that would be as a backup.

Descalso now offers the team little-to-nothing. Kozma would be a better defensive replacement at short, Ellis at second, and although he may defend at third a touch better than Carpenter, you don't want to take that bat out for someone who is so putrid against LHP.

I don't see how you keep descalso now. His bat isn't really that much improved over kozma, and kozma is a much better defender and base runner

I'd like to see us add a little pop off the bench now, but that's a bit nitpicky.
I'd prefer to keep kozma, let him pinch run, be a defensive upgrade at short etc. |

I don't see why not. Shane Robinson can do all the 4th OF things Jay can, and do them better.
