    I don't think there's any doubt that they're in a better position overall with personnel, than last season. It's not a starting lineup with a handful of minor leaguers, especially in the outfield. The pitching alone takes care of a lot of that too. It's significantly better than last year. If a few of the guys could remember how to hit a baseball, it certainly wouldn't hurt. With Polanco and Lewis coming back soon, that will help tremendously. I don't know what the FO has up their sleeves at the deadline, but a good righty bat would help...and maybe another BP arm, but we'll see what happens.

    I'd just stick with what we've got, rather than trade for either one of those two guys.
  3. CRF
    Excellent!
  4. CRF
    I'd be surprised if the FO did much, if anything coming up to the deadline. Certainly, no major deals. Imo...Falvine are probably thinking that they can pretty much stand pat and not do much, because they expect the team to start to hit better, and maintain their pitching like they have been. They expect to win this division. Maybe not a good way for the FO to go about it, but that's what I believe they'll do.

    FANTASTIC win! I thought we were dunzo when Jax gave up the homer. To pull this one out was huge! It would be nice to have some easier wins, but these are character builders. Keep it up!

    I don't think that Balt would be looking to trade him, and I also don't think it makes any sense for us to try and get him. The Only position Mountcastle can play is 1B, so that would move AK to the outfield, and we already have a glut of outfielders. Why get him?
  7. CRF
    I don't know what they could get for any of them, but it's pretty clear they have to try and do something. I don't think that their trade value is worth very much. I'd really like to see Gallo and Kepler gone as well. Signing Gallo was a mistake. Kepler has been much better lately, but it's time to move on from him.

    It's very nice to see Buxton have a good night at the plate for a change, but I'd trade that for more consistency from him. He hit 2 homers last night, but will he go on another 0-25 skid now?
  9. CRF
    Ridiculous.
  10. CRF
    Obviously, they're not gonna dump Bux, but Gallo should be DFA'd. Bux should go on the IL.

    When I saw the headline, I thought this was a RandBall deal.
  12. CRF
    I'd love to have Walker, but there's no chance the Cards trade him. O'Neill, Donovan, and Carlson are interesting possibilities. The Cards have won 5 in a row and might be on the verge of turning it around. It remains to be seen how much dealing Mozy is willing to do. They still could conceivably have a chance to make a run in the NL central. It bears very close watching for sure.
  13. CRF
    Not gonna happen...and if by some chance Goldy would be available, and to us, I wouldn't move AK to get him. No way.
  14. CRF
    If they send Julien down when Polanco is activated, there should be a fan base revolt outside Target Field. Yeah, he's not a gold glover by any stretch, but he can swing a very good stick. He has to stay in the lineup somehow.
  15. CRF
    I think we can all forget about Goldy or Nolie coming north...it's just not gonna happen. I'd be shocked if StL moves either of them anyway. They do have some good younger players on their roster though, and some good prospects in the minors. I wouldn't mind making a deal for either O'Neill, Gorman, Edman, Donovan, or Carlson. Gorman, Edman, or Donovan would be a real nice gets. Luken Baker at their AAA team is a good 1B prospect. It depends on what they want for their guys, and there will be a lot of teams interested. I follow the Cards relatively closely, because one of my best friends is a huge fan, and I kind of like them too. Great fan base and St Louis is a great baseball city.
  16. CRF
    Gray has a real bad habit of pitching great for 4-5 innings...then completely losing it for 1 inning. I won't even go into Buxton...we all know what he's not doing. This was a game we should've won.
  17. CRF
    The decisions that the FO/Rocco make are just baffling. This would've been a good game to stick Wallner in there, but apparently that doesn't fit in with the master plan. As others have said...why did they bring him up if all he's gonna do is ride the pine? They'll probably send him back to StP before he gets any meaningful playing time.
  18. CRF
    There's a lot to be said for winning ugly...and they said a mouthful this weekend.
  19. CRF
    They have to find a way to keep Julien's bat in the lineup. Whether it's at 2nd, DH, or even at 1B. The guy can flat out rake. We desperately need guys that can do that. If they ship him back to StP...it'll be a damn shame.
  20. CRF
    I believe Do-Hyoung Park is reporting the same. Miranda to the IL and it appears likely Wallner is coming up.
  21. CRF
    Well, hot damn...let's just trade for everybody on that list!
  22. CRF
    Think the Halos would be interested in Gallo and Kep?
  23. CRF
    If the Twins let Popkins go in the middle of the season, or before the end of the season...I'd be absolutely shocked. I just can't see it happening. If that were to somehow happen, what's the point of bring in Lawson? I don't think that anything would change over the course of the rest of this season. It's not like turning a light switch, and all of a sudden we'll take better AB's and not strike out every time up. This is the way it's going to be for the rest of this season. After that...who knows?
  24. CRF
    Kind of a questionable thing to say on his part, but I'd be willing to bet he's pitching somewhere next season. Probably not here, but somewhere.
  25. CRF
    For me...Gallo and Kepler are 1A and 1B. They both need to go. The Gallo signing was a mistake...a risk that didn't work out. Kepler didn't develop the way that everyone hoped he would. It's time for him to move on and see if one of the young guys like Wallner can hold down RF. If there's any team that would be interested in either of them, please work out a deal. It almost doesn't even matter what the return is. If not, then DFA them. We easily can do just as well as we are, without them.
