Getting rid of under-performing players = Addition of better players. Thats not usually a move they make. And then adding an All-Star clean up hitter cant be construed as "nothing".

Scho, its all about next year when we can start to realisrically challenge the Cubs for the division and win playoff games.

Main reason, our top shelf young cost controlled quality starting pitching arrive in the major leagues. Possible starters....

Martinez
Reyes
Weaver
Flaherty
Hudson
Hicks

And there are several other pitching prospects in the minors projecting to the major leagues in the next 2-4 years.

We also have several outfielders that are getting close that could be a part of a trade. Best catching prospect in baseball thats expendable. Wacha. And one of our young pitchers to help get some more offense to make a run in the playoffs again.

I think you will see Gant in the rotation before Hudson. I hope he surprises me, but I think he is a bullpen guy.

Sign up for The Athletic. Go on Twitter and find a discount link or something; it's around $25 for a year subscription and it's a steal.

Bernie wrote an incredible article today that may well be worth the cost for the year alone. I'm not a Bernie fan, but it's a truly outstanding piece contrasting the Cards attitude with the 'peak TLR' squads and how that's played a role in their decline, especially at home. Really good quotes from TLR, a current player and Berkman.

Here's a small snippet from it:

Rany has a great piece up as well for folks that keep an eye on the Royals. It's just outstanding sportswriting and well worth it. If you hate to see places like ESPN and Yahoo Sports with their 'pivot to video' philosophy, throw a few bucks at The Athletic and see what you can do to keep great sportswriting alive. Pretty much every baseball writer worth a shit is there now anyway and if you combine their content with Birdsontheblack.com, a relatively new Cardinals blog, you really don't need to go anywhere else.

thanks for the lead on the info.

You should hang more often. Your the man with the stats and player backgrounds and history. We are going with all these young players soon. Everyone here appreciated your informative posts.:clap:

Good God Wong shit the bed there.

Cards could have hit into 3 double plays that inning. That’s kinda funny if it wasn’t so sad

Love Jose but damn he needs to learn to stretch as a 1st baseman.

Can we just play the Reds the rest of the year. Damn they are bad.

Reds are an abomination

Cards are still the dumbest base runners in baseball.

WTF is Matheny doing putting in Leone here?

Heh yea that was dumb as ****. Not as dumb as Wong getting picked off in the 9th inning of game 6 of the WS but still dumb.

"Cy" Norris with the save.

He just needed to pitch against or for the Cardinals apparently.
