For the new Cardinal fans that joined the Planet since last year, here are some of the historical threads going back to 2006.
With the spring he's having and the current injury/shitty outfield situation do you guys think they're going to start Victor Scott with the big club or send him down? [Reply]

I'd just claim Myles Straw off waivers and send Scott down.
6 in one hand, half dozen in the other. And it doesn't start the service clock on Scott that way. [Reply]

Probably have him start the first 3 games of the year, he’ll bat 1-13 and they’ll leave him on the bench for another 6 weeks before sending him back down [Reply]
Carlson and Walker just collided on a fly ball. I was listening on the radio and don't know if Carlson was calling Walker off or what. Outfield is gonna be a problem. [Reply]

Walker says he never heard Carlson calling him off.
Now Mo will have an excuse. Would have won if Carlson didn’t get hurt.
Starting on the West Coast vs Dodgers and Pads is certainly doing us no favors. If we come home 3-3 it will be a major victory. I suspect 1-5 is closer to reality tho.
I am excited to see the Walker, Winn, Scott play.
The geriatric pitching staff is another story. [Reply]
