I like a 5 game series.
3-2 is just the natural order of a 5 game series. In a 3-gamer, a sweep can be the result of a bad bounce or two, but over enough games the bad bounces will even out. 3-2 either way doesn't change things at all. And frankly, if we go 1-4 or 0-5, we absolutely deserve to sweat.

Or if we go in a sweep the paper tiger Pirates, it's all good.

We're going to have to play well though, because our schedule from here out is pretty tough.

After that, this is the worst FA class I can remember. If you need innings, you could make a small push for Dick Nolasco, but I bet the Dodgers overpay him by 60%.

Really? Unused asset for you. Definite help this year, with a possibility to work an extension.

So what do you believe Wong is worth? Or are you assuming that Carp is moving to third with Wong to plug and play?
And post another gif and watch me go full Meat Dragon on that ass. |

A starting pitcher this year carries obvious present-day value for the Cardinals. For a two month rental I'd want a 4 WAR pitcher. Santana is looking like a 2.5 WAR pitcher this year. I'd also rather have Jorge De La Rosa, a LHP with similar peripherals, but more a few more control issues, and there's no way I'd give up Wong for him. I might toss you Carson Kelly and another projectable arm, but Santana just isn't that damned good.

I just dont see it. I'd rather have Waino, Miller, Lynn, Martinez, Wacha than him. He doesn't even start for us in 2014.

I say this as someone who has never lived in St. Louis. Santana is, at best, a fringe #3 starter on a bad team and a serviceable #4 on a good one. Lance Lynn is a better pitcher than Santana, and a lot of people don't even want him in the rotation.
