I ****ing hate Pete Kozma so much. Worst goddamned Cardinal of my lifetime, and maybe franchise history.

Remember - you can't criticize the team because it's good.
Randy Choate gives up another hit. Pete Kozma still absolutely !@#$ing blows. Tony Cruz may actually blow worse. It has been this way for 2 !@#$ing seasons now but I'm supposed to apologize for being tired of it because the starting staff gives up 2 runs/gm.

It's just one play but it shows how much simple athleticism matters at 1b.
If you're a good athlete (Piscotty is) then you can be a credible defensive 1b. He'll be fine at 1b. Not perfect, but good enough to let his bat decide his value. If he hits, he'll stay.

If we didn't have better choices, I could understand. But, thats just not the case. Cue Hootie to tell me just be happy with my team.

Ed Easley is a better choice than Cruz now, just as Garcia is better than Kozma.
Funniest part was keeping Cruz in to hit in the bottom of the 8th with two outs then having Molina lead off the next inning as a PH. Classic Matheny. |

What's worse is we've actually seen those guys be better at this level, and they were sent back down

From a pure hypothetical standpoint, who would it take for you to make reyes available?
Say for instance, the dbacks called and said "we wanna move goldschmidt and we love reyes, let's make this work." |

Goldschmidt is a 7 win player making 5 million a year through 2018 with another option year after that. I'd gladly trade him for Todd Frazier, Manny Machado, Arenado, pretty much any elite cost-controlled corner IF or corner OF. |
