What is up with this team and Hudson? Everyone knows Hudson is way better pitcher and more upside than both those guys. Looks ready for the big show or at least one of these spot starts. Why are the Cardinals holding him back?
They don’t want to start the service time clock ticking?
40 man roster? WTF? There is so many players on that list that there is no way in hell a team takes them in a rule 5 draft. Are they wanting to save someone from being exposed to the rule 5 draft? [Reply]

Hudson legit can't miss bats. It's a problem. His HR/FB rate is completely unsustainable even if he has a good sinker. He's probably a fringe #4-#5 starter in the big leagues. Doubt he's much of an improvement over Gant. [Reply]

you guys went that high as me on Flaherty either. Hopefully, I’m right in this case too. :-) [Reply]

He has had a good year, but so has Poncedeleon. Gomber is a guy who we really need to be successful imo. He is our best hope at a decent lefty starter. [Reply]
