We won a World series, they got a .260 hitter. I'd say thats a pretty lopsided deal.

Haven't seen what he's hitting this year, but last year I think he was actually closer to .220 for most of the year. Did hit 20+ homers, though.

He has all the talent in the world but he is a head case. His personality wouldn't and didn't mesh in a "Cardinals" locker room.

Agreed, and his overbearing father didn't help either.

The fact that he was so butthurt that he wouldn't accept his World Series ring from LaRussa in person says it all. They should have shipped it to him COD.
Good riddance, dickbag. |

When Mo made the trade he and us fans knew it was a trade off. We were giving up a potential All-Star for a run at a WS. It certainly looked like a failure until August.

I just don't view it as a "bad" trade for the Blue Jays and I could see them having too sell here this season if things keep flopping. |

That trade was always an immediate band-aid. We benefited because those bullpen arms helped put us over the top, but they extracted more value from the trade. Sometimes trades help both teams. The Rasmus deal did.

It makes you wonder if he came up under Matheny, would it have turned out differently? Bottom line........ I'd trade a 4 WAR player for a WS Championship every time, every year.

Lets be honest, it was going to take a lot more than Colby Rasmus to make the Jays competitive anyway.

I was against it too b/c I saw 2011 as a largely lost season at that point. Also, aside from the tremendous value we got from them in the playoffs, Scrabble was the only real holdover and he is absolute dog shit. Colby may have turned out differently. It actually terrifies me to think about what all of these n00bs would have been treated like under LaRussa. Either way, it's probably fair to say that Colby Rasmus is not a winning baseball player. And it's not because he plays on a losing team.

Oh, Little Pedro was stretched out to 91 pitches yesterday.
