While a big step with the challenges added, soon we will have accurate no BS balls and strikes all game, and players can become the only human element that is important. 2 years?
I would rather get ALL his remaining years and take a compensatory draft pick. Like Braves did with Freddie. Go 1 for 1 on the draft pick and huge win. Just as good a chance as these suspect packages that you get 1 of 4 that make it, if that. And you get the player you know and love.
Ryan staying in. Interesting. Hopefully break serves him better than the start, today. They rarely get Ryan runs when he doesn’t give up any or a couple. Today could be a real challenge.
No. Didn’t like that signing at all. Hated Caratini. Especially after Jackson. And for the combined 14 mil/ yr for Bell and Caratini ( estimated, not looked up)! They are paying Caratini more than Jeffers. No lesson learned from Vazquez 30mil contract. This team is a mess.
Personally, fwiw, I think they should bring them up way before they do, instead of when they ar 25 or so. But SNAFU. This team is such a mess now that I have little hope that will work for us, either.
Do you really have that much faith that our aging “young “ guys would be able to perform? Sure, we’d like to think that, but look at our track record. Oft injured….. 1/2 season wonders….. Maybe.
Caratini can’t hit, but sure can do a nice half bat flip to opposite hand. You know, important stuff.
They don’t make Cards throw enough pitches to even give Ryan a needed break. Playing like yesterday never ended.
They keep grabbing guys, that if they were already in St Paul, they wouldn’t even think of rostering him. But this stranger at least has a good recent AAA stat line, even with lower velocity.
