Grichuk has 20/10 vision. Why can't he pick up the rotation on the ball? Those swings at balls in the opposite batters box in the bottom of the 9th were inexcusable.

B) I still don't think the talent that Adams showed in the minors is just gone. I think he was simply lazy and took too long to adapt. I also think he let the shift (and Mabry) **** him up. That said, some of the adjustments he's tried to make over the last 2 years may have finally started to work. He's actually capable of driving a ball to LC instead of just hitting flared singles and seeing eye grounders out there. Ultimately with Moss you know what you're going to get - a very flawed player that's pretty much nothing but HRs or outs. He hits those towering flies that are almost always caught if they stay in the yard. He's among the few remaining '3 true outcome' players and ultimately I don't really want another one of those guys with Grichuk already in the lineup. What we really need is a credible LH bat that can actually take quality ABs. Maybe Adams isn't that guy but if he isn't, who cares? We non-tender him and move along. Having Moss won't make much of a difference on balance but having Adams develop into the guy he looked like he could be 3 years ago actually would.

Piscotty is 6/9 with 12 RBI's with the bases loaded in his career.
Very good complimentary player.

Hey DJ and or any other baseball draftnik, what kind of talent are we going to get with these picks? Deep draft? Shallow? Deep in one position? Nothing there at another? etc.
#23 (1st rounder) #33 (comp pick for lackey) #34 (comp pick for heyward) #70 (2nd rounder) #106 (3rd rounder)

In 5.5 years with the way salaries are escalating he could be a $300 million contract.

Hey, dudes. We've been having a most unlikable baseball player tournament on here in which several Cardinal rivals (Phillips, Arrieta, Heyward, Lackey, Bryant, etc.) have been nominated. Come check out the threads and vote against your rivals.

Carson Kelly has always been a good defensive catcher but this year he's hitting near .300. We may have found Molina's replacement. Wong needs to get his act together. He has the talent. The cards gave him $25 million reasons for him to believe they want him in the long run. I think its a mental thing with him. Adams goes back to being the Adams everyone has always seen, move Carp to 1B. Carp hasn't looked all that good at 3B anyway.
