Rotondo got a fair number of ST abs with the big club this Spring. I thought that meant they liked his potential
Cardinals are in contention for the playoffs (within 5 games of a playoff spot). But still do a major sell off. Ironically their winning % improves after the sell off.
Hard to see someone from outside the organization taking the hitting coach knowing that Marmol is most likely gone at the end of the season and realizing the new mgr may want to bring in his guy
As long as they base the order on something baseball related. If they ever.base it on DEI stats ou something similar they probably lose me as a fan forever.
The Cards have to become more stingy with NTCs. Yes, they can be waived or bought out but they canbe a pain. I don’t see Mikolas wanting to go anywhere
I have always viewed Hence as a future closer. The emergence of Mathews makes thar even more likely.
Cornwell is a lefty. He likely gets a shot somewhere and bounces around forever
That honor for the Cards goes to 12th rounder Ian Petrutz with a 1.100 OPS (despite zero HR). Just a small sample size or did the Cards find a hidden gem? .441 babip says luck. 9 waks against 3 k’s in 37 abs days there may be something there. I noticed mlb pipeline ignored him in favor of others from the 2024:draft class.
I screwed up with my 90 wiin prediction as I was thinking that was 9 games over .500 not 18 games over .500. Now I think 9 games over .500 is a long shot.
Yes, Rodriguez is putting up video game numbers and the most amazing part is doing it at age 17. The cards had a 1B several years back who put up ungodly numbers (don’t remember his name) but he ewas 21 years old (maybe older) and he was in his 2cnd or 3rd dsl season.
I like the idea of the 3b move for Rodriguez
I would love to have O’Campo back in the organization. I had some email exchanges with him back in the day and he couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful
I would like to see them pick up Gibson and find someway to get rid of Micklelos. May not be easy as Micklelos has a no trade and he came to Stl because he is from the Jupiter area. But assuming he wanted a fresh start we could assume about 7 million of his contract and pick up Gibson’s option and be revenue neutral. We might have to throw in a prospect for someone to assume that much salary.
Another possibility is that we pick up Gibson’s option and flip him for a minor leaguer
Mudville, you think Goldschmitt will be back?
Kiiridge and Middleton will become FA’s.
Will either be retained? A price issue that is hard to determine. Mo likes his veteran relievers so my guess is that of them or someone else will be signed somewhere in the 5 million rangeMiddleton is a team option which will be declined. If he is brought back it will probably be at a lower price that he cam make the difference in incentives
