This made me think of watching Scott Rolen start crying after taking a swing at the plate (post-labrum or whatever). As I recall, he had been completely cleared to play by the Cardinals training staff in that instance.

What are the current thoughts on Oscar Taveras? I am seeing some Cardinals fans who now are pro-trade for Taveras.
I think they're crazy...

Are there more than five players who could give you more surplus value than what Taveras looks to provide?

IMO, that's the one organizational weakness.

RH power bats that are out there:
Jason Bay Mark Reynolds. We could really use that pop off the bench.

Especially if Martinez pitched 5-to 6 good innings.

But now Jay has to go, Freese has to go. Holliday is in decline. We need Taveras's offense and play CF.

Yes, they've really not hit anything hard, he's got in on Dodger hitters consistantly. Just bad luck.

We got ours back, though. Ethier dropped the ball as he took it out of his glove, then lackadaisically tossed it into the IF, over the 2B's head. It then hit off the corner of the base, shot into left field, and Holliday scored during the confusion. Martinez's command has been spotty at times, but I don't think Johnson is calling nearly enough curveballs. It's a plus-plus pitch, he's getting to two strikes on almost everyone, and he's just having him throw two or four seamers every time.

I never supported that idea. FWIW, WAR is a good metric over the course of a season, but I'll always take the 6 WAR RF in a clutch AB over a 6 WAR SS.
