I’m fine with this move. Sounds like he has been groomed. Hope he can embrace this long term and stay away from Matheny’s style.

DJ, Hamas and the other baseball nerds, is this possible?
Listened to two Cardinal podcasts this afternoon. Basic premise is that Ozuna still has value. You trade him with your surplus position players and pitching to get a top offensive prospect. Possible? Offer Harper $300-$350 million in day one of FA. Any chance of that happening than a couple of months ago? Or are these podcasters talking out their ass?

They can certainly put an attractive package together with the pitching they have. I’m not sure we will ever be able to pull off a Kent Bottenfield for Edmonds type trade again with all the analytics available, but there are still some stupid front office guys out there. |

Ray Ray looks like he could still play. Talented, hard nosed player on some pretty shitty teams.

Thought it was weird that two podcasts were promoting the same thing. Every one of these podcasts also assume that Fowler is gone. If so, glad to see Dewitt write off $50 million. But, wtf is he supposed to do? He plays Fowler next year it’s only about the money and not winning.

I'll say it again: Hicks is terrifying.

he needs to be throwing more off speed stuff. Hitters can time 100 mph fastballs these days.

That's why it's so critical for him to throw first pitch strikes - it allows him to get to breaking ball counts. If he can't get ahead, he has to just hump heaters up there and they just look to serve them up the middle and oppo.

Is Flaherty August pitcher of the month? He has to be in consideration. 4-0 with a 1.08 ERA and 33 strikeouts.
