thats as good as lineup as any team in baseball. Legit WS contenders. Which means it ain’t going to happen.

There is no God if Fowler is on this team in 2019 and makes more money than Goldy.

On the team or not hes still going to be making more than Goldy and barring a trade hes still gonna count more against the Cardinals payroll.

No one is going to trade for him though, so I guess it's time to embrace Atheism.

what makes you think I haven’t already?:harumph:

I don't think Cohn read what Dewitt said yesterday that we had 3 good choices in RF. We had 88 wins last year and everyone is back on offense and we added Goldy so we should be better.

Mo blows, so "should" isn't a gimme. Still third in talent in the division.

We won 88 games with a 1/2 season of Matheny. If O'Neill can get his strike out ratio down, he'd be a big addition to the lineup. Speed. + defender, pop in his bat etc.



The bullpen needs a shit ton of work. I can think of 9-10 games off the top of my head that the Holland, Norris etc. blew after they flames out when it was clear they didn't have the capability to get anyone out anymore but were still in there. Maybe we lose those anyway? Have to think just an average relief pitcher gets us 1/2 those games.

Leaves only Philly? Where everyone thought he'd end up anyway?

If only the Cardinals had a 4-6 win corner outfielder, like that guy who plays down in Tampa.

You don't need to try so hard, Mo.

Everyone knows you aren't in on Harper. Because you're gutless.

There are several articles about how they are hoping Fowler will return to "2017" form. Yuck.

Also read that Gyorko has said that he's willing to be a super backup if necessary and start learning OF if that is what it takes.

Hoping your starting right fielder returns to .264/18/48? That's a pretty low bar.

Mo sucks at his job.

Sunk cost fallacy
