My HOF is for the elite only. I don’t like the fact great players make the HOF when they arent on the same level as a true HOF’er. I will use Jim Rice as an example. Is he on the same level as Willie Mays? Mays is a HOF’er. Rice is a great player. I consider HOF’ers a step above great. Just me.
Politics should have nothing to do with it. Barely 200 wins and no CY. Thats where I look. Really good Pitcher. Not HOF caliber imo. Waters it down more. He uses politics excuse to cover the fact he wasn’t quite good enough.
The Cards have the worst hitting OF that I can recall. I watched Stan by the way. What a mess. Bad decisions. Time for a change upstairs.
Hopefully he goes where he can be appreciated. Hate to see a fielder of his caliber gone. You don’t easily replace that. Defense is too important of a part of the game to just blow off a GG’er. Just remembering 2 years ago. Ugh.
Looks like we are headed back to the 70’s. Keep just enough talent to keep the fans interest. The defensive problems were addressed and now about to revert back.
I see a lot of you mentioning getting rid of Wong and putting Edman at 2B. I thought the idea was to improve the team. No comparison fielding wise. And Wong arguably had a better year at the plate. Money shouldn’t be an issue. Focus needs to be the OF/3B. Don’t mess with the rest.
Same problem as last year. Is a no brainer. Need to replace Carp. His time has come and gone. Bader and O’Neill don’t work out. They had their chance. Enough has been seen. Go get one elite at either third or in the OF. Pay the money. Then fill the other two places with above average players. Not Bader and O’Neill. Ozuna could have been had at a decent price. Gonna be too much now. I’m still hung up on Arenado. His defense and bat fit this lineup so well.
Bader, O’Neil are wasting lineup spots. Not saying there is better on the roster, but others should be given a chance. These two have proven their worth. Or lack of.
A chocolate malt says that Fowler will have a higher average than Bader at the end of April. Spring Training Averages are just that.
While no Rex Hudler he was better than the likes of Bo Hart and a few dozen others that have made this Team. He always played hard. Appeared to be a good teammate. Not a good decision on his part.
With the expanded roster I use either Gomber or Kim as a lr for the nights Wainwright starts. Quick hook with a very capable replacement.
Flaherty,Martinez,Hudson,Waino,Ponce to open. Gomber looked pretty good to me the other day. Haven’t got a chance to see much of Kim.
Ozunas defense in LF has been about equal to Carpenters defense everywhere. That shot put to first is weak. Seems like because he has been here awhile his bad year is acceptable. One of these two has a good chance for some really good to great years going forward. And it is not the 35 yr old to be this year. I look for Ozuna to have a great year. The Bader experience ending. Come on young uns.
