Martinez/Reyes/Weaver/Flaherty/Hudson
Wacha will likely still be ahead of both Flaherty and Hudson. There are a lot of ifs. You can never ever have too much starting depth. Thankfully we do seem to have some options there. Weaver looks like he has taken a step forward. Flaherty has looked better than Hudson despite the numbers. Hudson honestly has not impressed me. If he is starting for us this year, the season has likely gone to crap.
That said, I am an eternal optimist homer. :-) [Reply]

It was inexcusable for the Cards because they didn't have to give up a pick to sign him. And you are really over estimating the prospects we have. Take off the homer glasses man, Martinez is never winning a Cy Young and you can never have too many innings eaters with ML experience.. [Reply]

this is not a “Cardinals” issue. It’s a MLB issue. Obviously they weren’t interested in a one year deal. We are going nowhere in 2018 so why bother.
The “Cardinals” part is that they have moved on. Yes, you can never have enough pitching. However, we need help with the offense. I’d like them to concentrate money there. [Reply]
