    I really like the Palacios/Kittredge trade. Palacios has never impressed me much. I know he had a good finish last season. Besides you have to give something to get something. And you can’t be afraid to pull the the trigger on a trade.

    I really believe our bullpen will be a strength of our team. Lots of depth in the pen, and young position players are another. I wish I had similar faith in our starting pitchers. Maybe we can have some young starters surprise us.

    A very good outing by Thompson today. Our starters have had few good performances this spring.

    I think Scott making the team out of ST would be a good idea with the injuries. Carlson should be on the bench. Worse case scenario you can send Scott down when everyone is healthy. Rehab will be in the Cards, so Noot and Edman probably won’t be ready until late April/first of May.

    I have always preferred to sign Clevinger. His career numbers are very good.

    Barring injuries, Middleton, Kittredge, Helsley, King, Romero, Gallegos, and Fernandez filling 7 bullpen spots this leaves 1 open spot.

    Unless a trade is made my guess is that Fermin would be DFA’d. He did not impress late last year, and we have many 2b/3b types of infielders.

    Our FO doesn’t seem to have a plan when it comes picking up other teams castoffs. We didn’t give Gomez a chance last year with all of the outfield injuries, Yet, we aqd a player who doesn’t have many standout qualities other than defensive versatility.

    If CArpenter is released before Spring Training ends, is he owed a full minimum salary, or is it prorated?

    Signing Carpenter is ridiculous. His time has come and gone. The only thing left is nostalgia.

    Edman has priced himself out of any utility player role, 10 homers, 60 rbis doesn’t justify 6 million plus.

    Watching prospects pitch and develop is what baseball is all about. Watching bums that Mo brought in last year is not exciting. Somewhere along the way veteran pitchers usually revert back to their career stats.

    I am so glad the Lawrence/Suarez/Barnes,etc era is over. That was painful to watch.

    I think most of these guys, Naughton, Rodriguez, Zuniga have limited chance to be added to the 40 man roster,

    Perhaps Thompson is our 6th starter at Memphis, and Liberatore is in the STL pen. Thompson may be our 5th starter given Matz health.

    Fernandez would have to have a terrible spring or be injured to not make the team, He figures to be the last bullpener due to his Rule 5 status. But he has a high upside arm.

    I really don’t see many good stats for the 2023 bullpen, 28 blown saves. I think there are many additions by subtractions from 2023 to 2024. I am concerned about Gallegos though. He has regressed in many areas in the last 2 years.

    I disagree about the state of the bullpen. Bringing in fresh, live arms Robertson and Fernandez are good moves. Kittredge is good also. A full season of King and Romero helps. And subtractingVerhagen was positive. Perhaps Liberatore, who put up good numbers in relief might help. Having more depth helps with Granillo, O’Brien, and Rodriguez. But one of my favorite additions last year, Svanson, I think will be a solid, maybe late inning help by mid 2024.

    I am not sure what to make of the Cardinals handling of Tink Hence. Brian talked with a scout who didn’t like his very short stints. I’d have to disagree with that scout’s assessment, as most times he was never allowed over 50 or 60 pitches. Perhaps Hence lost velocity, or simply was more hittable, but I don’t think so. In 2024, he surely has to be allowed to throw 80+ pitches.

    If the Cards go with 13 pitchers, and the expected starting 5 stays healthy and effective, there appears to be 6 relievers as likely to make the team, Helsley, Gallegos, Fernandez, Romero, King, and Kittridge. That would leave 2 spots up for grabs.

    I know that injuries will change these projections, but I like our depth. I am also assuming Thompson and Liberatore start at Memphis, but they could be in the big league pen. Pallante’s role seems uncertain as well

    I really don’t care for percentages, particularly in pitching stats. K%, BB%, cause me to calculate the approximate numbers. or go to Baseball Reference and look them up myself.

    I’d like to see us bring back Hicks. Or, if not, a Maton or Hand would be good additions.

    I am pleased with pitching additions, especially after adding (yawn) Lynn and Gibson. We have as much minor league pitching depth as we ever have. The trade deadline acquisitions helped a lot with Saggesse and Roby among others.

    I would like to have seen someone other than Gibson signed. But if we can get another quality reliever signed that could give us a chance to win the division.

    And we retained all of our young kids. They could be trade chips at the deadline for more pitching.
