LaRussa said Batista will be the Cards closer on days when Franklin is unavailable.
You've got to be kidding me. |

At this point I am pretty much convinced that LaRussa is deliberately sabotaging the team, either out of spite or for monetary gain. Other than him being completely insane, nothing else can explain his actions.

After taking sometime to think about it, Batista has been pretty good so far(except for Opening Day when Miller had to get him out of a bases load jam).
He had 3 Ks yesterday in 2 innings. He may not have dominating stuff, but I think he'll do a better job than Franklin. |

Say these minor leaguers the Roayals have turn into major league players. They still only get 4-5 years of service and thats it. They can't afford to re-sign everyone. We can afford a top 10 payroll and even we can't re-sign everyone.

The Royals and Rays are trying to be like them. The Twins have won the Central 6 out of 10 times in the past 10 seasons. |

If somehow someway they don't get this turned around this season.....its time to re-build. Mo ain't going anywhere. Thats a pipe dream. A bad season, Larussa may decide to move on. He'll never be fired or asked to leave.

BS. Cardinal nations is just in a funk right now. And I conced for a good reason. But the cover is not bare.
We re-sign Pujols, Waino and Molina to contracts and look what out line up can look like in 2 years. This is financially doable lineup. The only piece we are missing is a SS who can bat lead off. 2012-2013 lineup Lead off hitter SS Cox 2B Pujols 1B Holliday LF Rasmus CF Craig RF Freese or Matt Carpenter 3B Molina C Pitcher Starting Pitchers Waino Garcia Shelby Miller Tyrell Jenkins Carlos Martinez Lance Lynn McCellehan Bullpen Motte Eduardo Sanchez Augestein Boggs Ottavino

Dude, I don't know you. But, If you have been paying attention you would know that I give out love to Royals fans all the time. I have tremendous respect for Royals fans. But the Royals can't consistently play at the same level as the Cardinals. Thats just the economic facts of baseball. The Cardinals can't compete consistently with the Yankees and Red Sox. I'm just pointing out the relaity of baseball economics. It isn't a level playing field.

I heard they were going to move him to 2B because they had Freese and Carpenter to play 3B and no one to play 2B.
