Offer them Carpenter for Montero and Banuelos then say yes when they come back with Carp for Montero by himself. Afterall, someone's going to have to play 1b next year.

Imagine the Cards over a whole season without anyone substantial to replace Albert. |

Cards play the Giants on Friday in their first home series of the season in SF. And they got Wilson back.

Some people at a Cardinals forum I lurk at are calling for McGwire to be fired. I don't think he's the problem.

Do you like our hitting philosophy?

LaRussa has gone through multiple hitting coaches. The 2010 Cardinals offense was pretty much the same as the 2009 Cardinals offense statistics wise, except a bit better in some places and a bit worse in others.
To answer your question, no I don't like the hitting philosophy but McGwire shouldn't be the scapegoat. |

And we don't know how much knowledge he does or doesn't have. Personally, I wouldn't have a problem if they named Aldrete the hitting coach. |

If you looked at his own swing, it wasn't a very sound one. He drew almost all his power from his arms, which is one of the reasons why he was fooled quite often, and why he often battled injury.

These are major league ball players, thousands and thousands of hours in the batting cages. Thousands of games from little league baseball till now to refine their swing. At this level they watch video of their swing after every game to spot mechanical flaws. As much as I hate this swing at the first pitch BS. Mcguire isn't the reason for our offensive troubles.

One of his jobs is to spot and fix flaws he finds in the batter's approach. He can't turn a .230 hitter into a .300 hitter, but he should be able to help a .300 hitter get out of a prolonged slump, or fix a guy's mechanics.
