I get not knowing the value of a Matt Chapman or David Peralta, but posts like this make me wonder if you even watched Cardinal baseball the last two years. [Reply]

The Cards dumping him was an all downside move. Stupid.
What is maddening to me is that they clearly wanted to shore up their defense by committing to Wong, yet with an outfield glut they discount price their most valuable and productive all around outfielder and then pay Jose Martinez for basically what they could have given Pham. [Reply]

Yea Pham fortunately for him broke his foot towards the end of last season right after getting traded so he didn't much much time but to act like dude has been healthy for any stretch is a straight up lie.
BTW I called this potential collapse in late April, odd for someone who doesn't watch or understand the game eh?

Oh did I mention his career line (1488 ABs) is .280/.378/.479
We got most of that for half a million a year. He got a deserved bump up to 5 mil. this year.
the fans down here dont like him at all. Bordering on hate. He evidently made fine comments about the Rays, fans, the stadium etc.
Etc. [Reply]
