We can't hit at all. I would do some package for someone like Stanton.

Miller has almost no trade value right now, and Adams isn't going to bring much either.
Honestly, the Cardinals have very little in the way of valuable trade pieces aside from Wacha (who should be untouchable) and Taveras. Piscotty and Ramsey might fetch something, but the shine is coming off the farm system now.

Looking at PitchFx, it looks like his velocity is not an issue, but his curve is getting hit much harder (fewer swings and misses). That's a location/command issue, most likely. His value isn't as high as it might have been in the offseason, but he'd still have good value for a lot of teams. Adams, I'm less sure about that... would probably need to find an AL team to trade with, in all likelihood. I don't think value will ever be as high as it was last offseason (would have been a good time to trade him, honestly).

I'd make Grichuk available, I'm not sure he but that he's not a AAAA player anyway with that swing.

But you didn't add the major bat in Stanton to all of that either. Adams and lot of those guys were ripe to trade last November.

Most teams would look at the physical ability and the results last year and think they can still get good production out of him. Similar to Colby Rasmus... I know Cards fans are probably pretty happy with that trade, since the return helped you win the title. But that was a case of a guy having greater value than most Cardinals fans (And maybe even people within the organization) realized.

We were all aware of Rasmus' value, which is why people hated that trade to a man when it occurred. What was especially damaging in that case is that LaRussa went out of his way to destry Rasmus' trade value.
Dickhead, immature or not, that was a franchise-torpedoing move. We were just lucky enough to fall into Dotel, who was the real gem of that trade. Rzepczynski was helpful against Howard's corpse in the LDS, and Jackson ate some innings, but I don't know if he ever made it out of the fifth in any playoff start.

On other message boards I frequent, Cards fans LOVED the deal then and still love it now. That was bleeding into my post... Hopefully, if the Cardinals DO trade Miller, they're smart enough to not let team personnel continually bash him in the media, destroying his trade value.

Besides, Stanton was never the logical target because of Taveras. The target was Tulowitzki, as he shored up the position of biggest weakness while also giving you a middle of the order bat. Peralta is also playing at a 4 WAR pace; it just so happens that Tulowitzki is having a career year and a season for the ages to this point. That said, I would discount the Cardinal hitters' offensive metrics to this point for the reason that they are wholly absent of power, and regardless of how many runs a bunch of slap singles may create in a vacuum, you cannot build a productive offense on top of them, because it requires far too many things to happen consecutively.

This team should just forfeit every game against a LHP just to save wear and tear on the pitching staff.
Runner on second and they can't hit the ball out of the ****ing infield. Shit, they can't even hit a groundball hard.
