Strauss, who IMO is a buffoon, talked a little about Tulowitzki in his most recent column. Is there actually talk of that in STL? I marked it up to BS.

They've talked about that for two years. Plus, Tulo is, again, on the shelf until August with a broken rib.

No shit. We are not getting Tulowitski or Reyes without giving up Wong/Adams and one of Martinez/Rosenthal/Miller etc.

Martinez would be the only one they would include at this point. Miller and Rosenthal, being what they are with the big club, are untouchable.

Obviously, if Troy Tulowitzki was as durable as Edgar Renteria you make that deal, but he's about as dependable as Chris ****ing Chandler.

Second off, because Matt Adams would be a 30-40 HR 1b in Coors. He'd be a freakin' monster out there, IMO. The worst years of Tulo's deal are coming soon so they may want to be rid of it. They may also see a chance go get a legitimate mauler at 1b to replace Helton and a 2-3 WAR 2b thrown in to boot. And like I said, if they came back and requested an arm, I'd still consider it. Not if they're asking for Miller, Lynn, Rosenthal or Martinez, but if they come looking for Wacha with the other 2? Yeah, I probably pull the trigger.

That's probably a decision where the odds are 5:3 in your favor, but staking your "tournament life", although mathematically correct, is a huge, huge risk.

I know Kozma isn't great, but he has been a 1 WAR player to this point so far. You can't fill your team with All-Stars.
Might the best move be to stand pat?

Best time to make deals is the off season. But, if Kozma can keep his current level of play up, we need help in the bullpen more than an upgrade at SS. We lead MLB in runs scored etc. we can take the hit.

Rosenthal isn't getting stretched out this year.
I just don't see the need to add too much to a bullpen that can throw Rosenthal, Mujica, Siegrist, and by playoff time either Lyons or Martinez. Scroate is an acceptable L00GY, far better than Arthur Rhodes, but this pen is better simply by jettisoning Boggs, Salas, and Scrabble.
