Shia LaBeouf 0 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I dont think putting Wainright in the pen for the rest of this season would be a mistake. He could go back to the rotation next year, giving them the time to sign a closer without losing any prospects. Link to post Share on other sites
aadams_22 3 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 A solid 7-8 innings out of Wainwright far outweighs anything he can contribute to the bullpen. Link to post Share on other sites

To me its one of two viable options. I can see arguments for both. Link to post Share on other sites

7s7c 0 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I wouldn't be surprised to see the Cardinals make a push for Brian Fuentes.I don't know if I would be into getting into a bidding war for his services with a big team looking for a late inning lefty ready to deal a big time prospect or 2 second tier prospects. Jumping Milwaukee and/or Chicago will be very difficult and I don't think Fuentes is going to be the difference maker, though they could certainly use him obviously. I do agree that they will explore it for sure. Link to post Share on other sites

I do agree that they will explore it for sure.They are going to have to explore it, or risk alienating all of Redbird Nation by not making a move to keep the team in the hunt. They are only 3 games behind the Brewers atm, with Chicago and Milwaukee starting a 4 game series. The season for the Cardinals is far from over and the division is still very winnable. I'm hoping Mozeliak learned a few things from his mentor and pulls off a deal. Jocketty would have had something done by now. Link to post Share on other sites

7s7c 0 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Read on espn.com that with Lohse prolly not going to be signed long term next year and with Carpenter and Wainwright coming back, that the Cards maybe looking to deal Lohse as a great bargaining chip to get a bullpen arm and a bat. Yankees, White Sox and Rockies they list as potential destinations. Wonder if they would deal him to Colorado for Fuentes and like Jeff Baker or someone. Link to post Share on other sites

7s7c 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 So.......nothing. I suppose Carpenter and Wainwright count and the Brewers shit the bed vs the Cubs so we shall see. Link to post Share on other sites
jdrury12 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Jeez, if you are going to give up on the year, do it. Don't treat the fans like morons. Deal Lohse and get something for the future. It sickens me how they talk about how the big move was not going on a firesale and dealing Lohse. Just like our big offseason signing was Matt Clement.... Link to post Share on other sites

SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 why has izzy not been released?hey fuckass, yeah you, Mozeliak or whatever your name is. YOU'RE ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL BUDDY. Link to post Share on other sites

YOU'RE ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL BUDDY.Is it because he's Tony's baby or what, this guy is a joke. If we lost last night, the place would have rioted after the rain then watching the bullpen lose another, especially Izzy. Link to post Share on other sites

Also, say ty to Torre for bringing Jason Johnson and his insulin pump in to the game.Sigh, obv the Cardinals own the Dodgers the last few years, so could you guys at least allow us to win 1 game this series?

chgocubs99 0 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I'll ressurrect this thread for you all by letting you know that in my 27 years on this planet there is not a scarier sight in baseball than looking up and seeing Pujols at the plate. Maybe it's because he's in the Cubs division, and I missed a lot of Bonds road games because they were so late, but when he is up I am practically writing at least a single on my scorecard and getting ready to write more before he even steps in the box. Even like 80% of his outs seem like line drives that someone has to make a play on. He's really ****ing scary. Link to post Share on other sites
