Onley on ESPN insider just said yesterday that the Cardinals and Rays make sense as trading pardners. The Rays fans down here think they can get OT and Miller in the deal plus another AA pitcher.

Jeter is just plain bad at this point defensively. It's hilarious that they have one of the best defensive shortstops in the league in Ryan and he is stuck playing garbage innings at 1st because Mr. Legend won't be moved out of his spot.

Price is actually pitching better this year than he ever has. He's striking out more batters per nine innings and walking fewer than he ever has, he's just been horrendously unlucky on both BABIP and HRs. You can't look at raw numbers and make assumptions, especially in a sample size of like 10 starts.
His four-seamer velocity is the same as it was last year, but he took one MPH off his two-seamer, so it looks like his velocity has dropped when it really hasn't. He would likely dominate in the NL. That said, trading Miller and OT when James Shields went for a prospect like Taveras alone is just asinine, and that doesn't take into account the $20 million per he would command in an extension. I wouldn't trade Miller for Price straight up, let alone all this other nonsense.

Found this article interesting. It discusses Holiday's drop in power the last few seasons and some other interesting tidbits.
http://www.stltoday.com/sports/colum...329617ad1.html 1 of them was his defensive improvement. 1a. Holliday has told Derrick Goold and Dan McLaughlin that his his legs are feeling better this season than they have in a while, and that's reflected in his improvement defensively in left field. According to John Dewan's plus-minus Fielding Bible rating, Holliday is a plus 6 in left field this season. And in the Bill James stat Defensive Runs Saved, Holliday has saved two runs with his defense, which ranks 12th among MLB left fielders. It's early, yes. And Holliday rarely looks graceful out there. But he's been doing a good job defensively. |

I've told them that the Cardinals are not as dumb as the Royals. We have outfield prospects to give up easily without harm. But, I don't want to give up Miller/Martinez level pitching for a rental. No matter how good the rental is on the mound. Now they want to take Kelly and Piscotty I won't fly off the handle. What do I know anyway. I was against the Rasmus trade. Getting a bunch of middle relief wanna be pitchers and a journeyman SP for a 5 tool player? What was Mo thinking? Selling low because Rasmus and Larussa feud is now in the papers??? kind of worked out though.

4 runs later and still no one up and throwing. Probably because everyone was used so much last night. Oh wait. Good job, dumb****.

Going to see the Cards vs. the Jays next Sunday. Obviously I don't get many opportunities to see the RedBirds so I'm pretty stoked.

Too bad the Cards are playing AL rules, as it will hurt your chances somewhat since dumb **** Matheny can't double switch a significantly inferior player into the lineup.
