If they're hell-bent on acquiring a 'proven' reliever, they could've gotten screwed worse (presuming that said AA outfielder isn't Arozarena, which would piss me right off; wouldn't be pleased to lose Mercado either). It's the opportunity cost that annoys me. Kelly has value for a lot of teams and given how close he is to starter-ready right now, I think his floor would make him a pretty high-end asset. I'd still rather see them make a move for a far cheaper setup man, get him adapted/adjusted to the 9th and then move Kelly as part of a deal for Machado but they clearly aren't heading down that path. Colome isn't a bad pitcher. He isn't as good as his 40+ saves made him appear, but he's capable; an average closer. The problem is that average closers should be built, not bought. |

So will it be the normal overpay, then overpay for someone else who is decent, but when adding all the guys they gave up they could have made a big move for a bigger bat kind of thing?

Rumors surrounding the Cards suggest they may still go after Longoria or Donaldson.
That lineup might be the best in the bigs 1-8 if they make a deal for one of them. |

that's a tough choice, Donaldson is a giant douche who would be hard to root for, Longoria is not very good anymore.
