Well this leaves Sir Trout free to run his reign of terror to any stray baseballs that may come his way in centrefield.
I like this for the Cards too, Bourjous is just swell. I wonder who the Angels are getting back.
I had a nightmare that the Jays traded Hutchison for Hanigan, then I somehow magically ended up in Anthopoulos' office and shoved his fountain pen up his nostril.
Unfortunately, the former part of the dream is the conceivable scenario.
I wonder if the Jays could try going after Rosenthal and convert him to a starter. He should be able to considering he was a successful one for his minor league career.
Could he possibly come cheaper?
You see it that way cause the Cards are dealing from a position of immense depth and their history of exceptional player development. If it were another team, then I would have some reservations about giving away that much talent. Even if it is for Profar.
They had to blame someone, f*** logic, they probably picked the guy they were gonna fire through a game of eenie-meenie-minnie-mo.
Mottola was just the unlucky guy. Even though it makes no sense.
Bad defender, doesn't walk, doesn't hit for much power (I doubt the RC will help his HR rate that much) especially since he doesn't hit many flyballs. And can't hit lefties.
I never had a good opinion on Gomes, so I can't say I saw anything of him before. But if AA doesn't listen to most of guys he hires it's pretty damn worrisome. Although unfortunately not totally surprising.
