A lot to be happy about for the future. Albert who?
In all seriousness, I'm a Chiefs fan, Iowa fan, and Cardinals fan growing up. Thank goodness for the Cards; the only team that is routinely successful! |

Taveras' hitting is ranked 60/80: Good ML hitter floor, HOF ceiling.

Nothing will ever surprise with this team again. Every time we think they are done, they make an improbable run the playoffs. And Trevor Rosenthal spent the winter working out with Chris Carpenter in STL. Just how awesomely cool is that? Talk about getting started the right way? And a bonus.....Waino is buddying up with Shelby Miller. The torch is passing.... |

If he is as advertised, we won't be able to keep him after 6 years. |
Looks like Mo is going to bring in Ronny Cedeno for Furcal's backup

Somehow a facepalm doesn't even seem sufficient.
Everything we do is just underwhelming. We gave Randy Choate 3 years when Mike Gonzalez could've been had for cheaper and without a 3 year commitment. We gave Wigginton $6 million over 2 only to see the Cubs get Hairston, a far better hitter against lefties AND a capable defender for $7 million over 2. Now we go after this yutz as our 'competition' and insurance in case of Furcal's back injury. Moe's plan appears to be praying that all the pitchers that Luhnow drafted for him come through in spades. |
I think Hairston was waiting the market out, trying to get a bigger contract. He just ran out of teams, but it seems like he was seeking a much bigger contract than what he got. Heck, it seems like they gave Choate nearly as much as Burnett got, just 1 less year.

MLB.com announce the top outfield prospects in all of baseball. Who's #1?
Talk about setting the bar high. Last year's Top 10 outfielders list was led by the two players who ended up as the Rookies of the Year. Bryce Harper of the Nationals and Mike Trout of the Angels obviously have graduated, but this year's Top 10 outfielders list has a ton of future rookie-award candidates on it. And there are some new names, with only three outfielders returning from 2012. 1. Oscar Taveras, Cardinals: The Cardinals' signing of Taveras out of the Dominican Republic in 2008 for a mere $145,000 could go down as one the biggest bargains in recent memory. Perhaps the best pure hitter in the Minors, Taveras handled a double jump to Double-A last season by going to the Futures Game and earning Texas League Player of the Year honors. Taveras has done nothing but hit for plenty of average, and the power continues to come, along with improved plate discipline. He has everything to be an All-Star-caliber outfielder who hits in the middle of a big league lineup for years. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?...s_mlb&c_id=mlb |
