I have no problem moving Edwin (or Reyes for that matter), I just don't think the Cards or any team would even consider giving up a premium young arm like him for Edwin. Maybe something like Edwin + Castro for CMart, where the Cards get back a good young arm as well. IMO it still makes way more sense to move a veteran arm.

 

Wainwright is gone for the year and is turning 34 this year. Garcia, or Lackey does not return EE. The only other viable option would be Lynn plus a back end BP arm for EE. Lynn is has more short term value than Martinez. If the Cards are in a place where they feel they can win a WS once or twice with a power threat like EE, they may be willing to part with Martinez. The fact that they are loaded with young pitching may make them exchange that currency for a cheap proven power bat for a year and a half.

Just need Holliday to come back and they'll be fine.

 

With his 3 Hrs? Holliday is a 20-25 HR type, not 35-40 like EE. Also, how sick would it be if Holliday hit before EE? Holiday's numbers would definitely improve.

He's hit +20 HR for a decade, I wouldn't be too concerned seeing as he's been hurt for a good chunk of the season and expected back soon.

No but why does it have to be Edwin; All 3 of those guys will get them someone better than Mark Reynolds and that's all they really need. They're already a playoff team,

I realize that they're already a playoff team. The difference would be that there is that 3 run HR threat in their line up. That's huge in the post season.

Also, where are you going to find a legit 35 HR type player for less than $10mil for the next year and a half?

That's some pretty arbitrary criteria. They need to score more runs than the other team. There are lots of power bats out there for far less; Lind and Moreland come to mind and would cost far less.

True but Lind can't hit LHP and Moreland isn't a proven power bat yet. EE has average 37 HR in his last three seasons and is on pace this year also. He's more of a sure thing.

Posted a few weeks ago stroman would be in play. If the team is all in and aa trying to save his job, it's the most likely move. Wrong move, unless controllable talent coming back. Will more likely be similar to last years shark and hammel trade

 

On yesterdays show of Tim and Sid, Blair/JP. Morosi/Davidi said he's not in play according to AA...Jeff Sullivan comes up with a hypothetical he's in play...Gotcha.

They need an excuse handy when they end up doing nothing at the deadline. Davidi is a company man. He is spreading that s*** for a reason.

 

100% on again

 

Lol no team would ask for an injured player

Nooo

 

Only realistic trade targets I'd trade Stroman for are guys like Gray

 

It'd be hard to move him for another pitcher. I'd move him for a long term solution at SS like Seager

The Jays acquire (traded for) Brian Tallet from the Cards during the Rasmus deal while he was on the DL with an intercostal strain.

BC an injured AAAA pitcher virtually traded to create roster room and salary savings is the same thing?

 

Imagine AA trading Halladay for an injured prosprct. Hamels is the Phillies best asset I seriously doubt they would take a risky acquisition like an injured pitcher in return

Kyle Seager? Nice bat but isn't there a reason he plays 3B? Is he a viable defensive MLB SS? Yes i know he's a better option than Reyes.

Came up as a SS, thought he was supposed to stick. Haven't paid that close attention to him this season though...
