In 2013 we could have the best pitching staff in baseball. 4 pitchers capable of throwing a no-hitter in any start. 3 of them under our control through 2017.

Depending on how well Jackson pitches, I wouldn't be against them resigning him. I doubt they would, but I'd rather have him for another 3 seasons than Carp.

We are not resigning Carp and Jackson, we have Pujols and Waino to sign next year. You want to lock up waino for the long term and not just do the two year option. Almost all pitchers come back stronger after the tommy john surgery. He will be an anchor for another 5 years.

How many times do you have to stick a fork in a light socket before you understand it's a bad idea?

I think Carp will give a hometown discount say $20 million for 2 years to stay with his buddies on the team. This is the sunset of his career. He has a good chance to pitch in a World Series if he stays. But even at that Jackson is going to want at least what Loshe got 4/40. We still have another year of Lohshe to go. Its just not doable to resign both. If you intend to sign Pujols and Waino.

I really don't mind what they acquired in the short term but the price was far to ****ing high.
Sounds like the Cards are still trying for Bell which makes me pretty terrified of what they will give up. Miller or Martinez wouldn't surprise me at this point. |

4th inning on my DVR and Norris is still pulling his Hall of famer hat trick against the Cardinals.

Miller or Martinez for a rental? That would warrant an immediate mob of torches and pitchforks to run the GM out of town on a rail offense.

It should, but it would never, ever happen. Most Cardinal fans believe absolutely everything that comes from the mouthpieces at Busch, which is why so many were happy to get behind getting rid of a rare talent in Rasmus for a bunch of sacks of shit.

The Cardinals could have gotten a better package. And LaRussa should be out of town because of this. |
