Yet, in your previous posts you outlined the dangers of selling too low or buying too high with prospects. Those flaws would sink the whole plan resulting in a deficit of talent to compete. Pretty much what’s currently happening. It would seem to me that it takes a whole organization now and not just a great GM to be successful. The Cardinals seem to develop and or develop players better than the average team. Also you would need to add new and fresh approaches to your overall staff to keep current on trends or stay ahead of the other teams. Unknown if that’s happening.

At this point, everyone is focusing on launch angle and saying **** strikeouts. To me, it seems like there is a glaringly obvious approach a team could make, since homers are in such demand: find guys with speed who play good defense and make contact. Prevent runs and put pressure on the other teams on the basepaths. Basically, Whiteyball. |

Just heard on the radio that Lynn got traded to the Yankmees.
Good news if you hate New York, I guess. |

Rothschild must see something he can fix because I dont know why you would want him on your roster when you are trying to catch the Red Sox and avoid a 1 game wildcard. |

I have a buddy down here who’s a Rays fan text me just now to ask about O’neil. Is his power real?
Rumor among Rays fans is O’Neil/Kelley/Mercado for Archer. I sure hope this is just another BS rumor. Trading our only legitimate power hitter for a way over rated pitcher in a season that’s going nowhere would suck so bad. But a typical Mo move. |

Trading for Archer given the price being rumored would be so brutal and the last thing this team needs.

this is why the Rays still have Archer. Supposedly they are wanting a haul like Archer is Scherzer level. |

Things less ridiculous than Chris Archer, ace starter:
The Titanic's reputation as unsinkable Mao's Great Leap Forward as a humanitarian model Mack Rhoades, athletic director Rich Scanlon as an impact linebacker There is no more overrated player in sports, period, than Chris Archer. He's a #3/#4 starter because his FIP and xFIP are horrendously overrated by his desire to go 8 pitches to every batter to bump up his K-rate. He really should be a closer. I would give them a package of Carson Kelly, Junior Fernandez, and some past first round disappointment, like Nick Plummer, who will never amount to anything, and the Cardinals should probably push them for relief help coming back. |

FWIW, neither O’Neill or Kelly played tonight.
