Rumors are that the Cards have scheduled a 1:30 press conference to announce that Carpenter is retiring.
I guess you defer to the guy that just decided he didn't have the drive to answer the bell when pitchers and catchers report, but shit man - you couldn't have told us this several months ago? That might've been handy information to have, no? Well that frees up some payroll, I guess. Too bad there's nobody left to sign. Time to make a FA push for Michael Bourn and get to work on trading Holliday+ for Andrus. |

That doesn't mean they shouldn't. Holliday for Andrus would be a win/win for both squads. Though if the Rangers weren't willing to part with Andrus for Upton, they aren't going to give him up for Holliday either. |

Same for 2nd base. How far out is Wong another year or more? |

His hitting profile is starting to look a hell of a lot like Daniel Descalso's and Danny D has had the bat knocked out of his hands at this level. He's youngish, but he's not showing any real high-end tools down on the farm. I'm thinking Wong is most likely to be little more than a placeholder. EDIT: Presser had started so I just hit submit. I don't mean a placeholder, really. I mean just a decent player. He's not going to be much of a differencemaker out there, just a decent ballplayer. |

Cardinals announce Chris Carpenter "can't continue to throw" at this point. Not yet a retirement announcement, but it doesn't sound good |
"After several attempts at throwing bullpens, Carpenter informed [Moe] that he's still experiencing the same stingers, pain, etc... that he experienced last spring and that he can no longer continue to throw"
...he's to seek medical advice, etc... "It's very unlikely that he's going to pitch for us in the 2013 season" |
SS is also the hardest to position to find, IMO.
There isn't a ton of SS talent in the US, as there is a lot of competition for those athletes who can play it at a high level (Soccer, football, basketball, etc.) And in the Latin America countries, you're scouting guys at 15/16 and trying to project arm strength, body size, quickness as adults. Tough row to hoe. So is Miller probably a lock for the rotation now that Carp is gone (assuming Lohse isn't brought back now)? |
"We're comfortable with what we have"
Of course you are, Moe. You always are. WTF do you ever think needs to be upgraded on this roster and do you ever do anything but dumpster dive to improve it? We're going to be ****ed once we run out of Luhnow draftees. |

Westbrook Garcia Lynn Rosenthal Miller Kelly When Garcia inevitably goes down, you still have six potential starters for five spots. |
We have two top-50 overall prospects in Shelby and Rosenthal. Time to give them a chance.
