That's poor value. My idea allows the Cardinals to rest Holliday, Craig, and Freese, none of whom are pictures of health, while never sabotaging the lineup with a Shane Robinson or Ty Wigginton to do so. Furthermore, you aren't Profaring Wong in this example.

Freese will play all the time. Holliday will play all the time. No way Matheny cuts back their playing time. Surely we can get a better RH bat off the bench this off season.

I'm 100% down with trading Wong. I get it. But it's nice to have seven above average-great ML hitters for six spots than six, especially when you can parcel out ABs like that.

You know the market and other teams way better than myself.

Is there any SS's out there worth trading our top guys for? And if so who and what would it take?

Freese has played more than 100 games once. His high is 144 in 2012. Has he ever had a season in the bigs when he wasn't on the DL?

Holliday is a 33 year old who just got off the DL. He's been pretty durable save 2011, but he's also a declining player who could use the rest and who would still get several ABs off the bench. He only has 92 starts this year out of 110 games.

These are problems that solve themselves, because Freese's body definitely can't handle a full season of wear, and Holliday's will become less and less likely.

As far as shortstops, you could try and buy low on an intra-divisional trade for Starlin Castro. The Cubs have a SS who is raking in High A, but he's not likely in Chicago for two years. Assdribble Cabrera is likely going to be a trade target in the offseason because the Indians have a really good prospect breathing down his neck, and he's a FA after 2014.

There isn't much out there.

Eighty-nine belt high on the inside corner and we reverse K two ABs in a row. And you wonder why this team can't hit LHP :facepalm:

I have a feeling they'll end up beating this one like a drum.

Or not. Good lord.

It's just too damned easy to keep a team scoreless when they have no home run power. This guy has left a lot of pitches up and the Cardinals are completely incapable of driving them over the wall.

Did Craig just miss one?

If by just miss one, you mean hit a ball to the track that never looked like it was going out, then yes.

Pit getting crushed tonight and the Cards cant push 1 damn run across.

Oh JFC enough with Kozma. The guy cannot hit at this level.

Late inning tight ball game. This is where we find a way to lose.

Jesus ****...that you would even need a conference for that...

Matheny sitting on his ass too long again.
