What do you guys think of the 40 man roster and rule 5 draft players we protected? Miss anyone?

I could then see them doing the Greinke/Goldy trade and signing someone like Brantley. I would prefer Harper and I'm not sold on Goldy long term, especially after the Fowler experience, but I would like the temporary upgrade. |

Brantley is about 15% better than Dexter Fowler, but the two have remarkably similar skill sets aside from BA and walk rate (which ends up as a wash in OBP). Power, speed, defense, health--all similar.
Still pisses me the **** off, though, that they're willing to sign a FA Brantley but jettisoned a younger, better Tommy Pham. Mozeliak is a gat damn idiot. |

wellll it looks like MLB wasn't feeling Donaldson so I cant blame the Cardinals for passing on him. Moose would be an okay upgrade at 3B if that's not the only upgrade.

Maybe an upgrade if you don't think Gyorko can stay healthy (which has merit). It seems more like a poor fielding Tino Martinez type move. If you want to give him a one year deal sure, but anything mulit-year and I could see that fat tub with the range of Bob Horner regressing after he cashes in.

But, if this rumor is true, then they are not going to trade for Goldy. Which I think would have been a really stupid move anyway. A good side benefit. |

Goldy would help this offense for sure. I'm guessing it would cost us quite a bit in prospects for just a one year deal. Now if they get him to sign something reasonable with the trade as an extension that would change things, but why would he? Most likely we would again be paying for a declining player at the highest level (see Fowler). If you want to do something big, throw everything at Harper AND trade for Goldy. I could live with watching Carp underhand it across the diamond for a that line up. |
