Here's an idea:
Kolten Wong + Jon Jay to CHW Peavy and Alex Rios to St. Louis.

I'd be fine with that. Hate to lose Wong, but if you're going to make a push this year, you probably have to give up one of those guys.

Sorry, but Wong's greatest value to the Cardinals isn't as a 2B but as an asset. Matt Carpenter is the best 2B in baseball this year not named Bob Cano.
Peavy actually has an option year for 2014, so it'd be more than a two month rental. Jay can ****ing kill himself as far as I'm concerned. Rios could bat 2nd, 5th, or 6th, and although he's not really a CF anymore, Jay is the 2nd worse defensive CF in baseball.

Why do we need starting pitching? We have Wacha, Martinez and Carp to take someones spot.
Why give up prospects? Our those 3 so bad as options?

I think Wongs probably gone, but I don't know that they target a CF with Taveras apparently being the CF of the future in their eyes.

For being as erratic as he was, Westy got you what you need tonight. We couldn't score runs of Edwin ****ing Jackson.
Get some runs. |

Shit, I'd rather see Robinson get all the time in CF.

Michael Wacha is still a two pitch pitcher and Carlos Martinez has made 0 starts as a major leaguer. Westbrook is still battling a balky elbow, Shelby may be struggling with a bit of a rookie wall and/or mechanical issue, and Lynn is Jekyll or Hyde. Besides, we could always decline Peavy's option if we so desire. Look, if Matt Carpenter had 25 HR power I'd park his ass at third for the next half decade, but since he doesn't, I'm keeping him where he has been an elite player, 2B.

The whole Kozma experiment is done. He's Khalil Green at this point. It's time for Ryan Jackson to see what he can do.

Kolten Wong is not Oscar Taveras. Let's be honest here. Trading away Wong isn't mortgaging the future, it's trading a surplus for a deficiency, and if you believe that windows always stay open, how do you think the Nationals feel about sitting Strasburg last year?

Agreed. Why isn't Jackson getting a shot?
