Another year of seeing Mo run this team into the ground. And Dewitt claim to be broke.

What’s with all the rumors about Arenado to the Yankees?
And now they can’t get shit for reliever they hung on to for whatever reason for this year.

Well at this point its absolute dumb luck but they seem to have found a really good outfield combo and they appear to be sticking to it. Noot, Walker and Scott seem to be a really good combo though Walker still cant seem to hit for power for shit which is crazy. |

If this team could somehow play .500 on the road they're leading the division.

I'd have Donovan in the OF with Saggesse at 2b at this point. I'm done with Walker. He hasn't improved in a single area offensively. He won't while he's here. There's just no point in this dance anymore.

And Helsley would still have a very strong market if we made him available. Likely not much worse than dealing him in the offseason.

For Arenado? No - that's a salary dump. Might get a couple of A ball arms similar to Showalter - some upside but with a 90% probability of never appearing in a single major league game. 3-4 years away in a best case scenario unless it's a Cesar Prieto think where we promote someone just to justify them as part of a return.
For Helsley? Probably.

One bright spot in the rotation for me has been Liberatore. It's still a small sample size, but compared to previous call ups, things seem to have slowed down for him. His stuff is legit and projects as a solid middle of the rotation innings eater.

I always kinda questioned his ceiling; seemed like he'd be a #2 starter on his best day. Someone who might have one of those Sonny Gray sort of remarkable career seasons but otherwise just be a steady 2/3 arm in a rotation. Looks like that's about where he's heading at the moment. What's really come into focus is his command. And the fact that he can throw a slider without losing the feel for his curve (which is more rare than you'd think). He looks good out there. And it looks mostly sustainable. We'll see what happens when the league adjusts, but this is the first real progress we've seen from a young cardinal SP in quite some time.
