Sounds like some butthurt over the wasted $250 million. Why? Your team has more vaults of money to spend. [Reply]
I really hope Pujols comes to his senses and just retires. Sign a one week contract, throw him out there for a few at-bats for an at-home series, and then he can retire as a Cardinal. Very lucky to have lived in STL for three of his best years and went to about 80 games. I'll never forget the thrill of his at-bat anytime. Starting to feel that way about Arenado but just will never be the same as number 5. [Reply]

Edman being more consistent at the lead off spot. Carlson at #2, Goldy, Arenado and then next year, adding Gorman, this will be a legit lineup for the next couple of years. [Reply]

I will admit I wasn't convinced Edman was a big league player. He has not only been good in the lead off spot he has been stellar defensively.
The offense is till pretty spotty but that's really the case everywhere in MLB right now outside of the WhiteSox. [Reply]

I agree. Viewed him as one of those utility players but not a difference maker. Never saw him achieving this level of positive impact on the team. [Reply]

I think he has passed the Joe McEwing/Bo Hart one hit wonder status, but not yet ready to call him Tommy Herr yet. :-) [Reply]

I wouldn’t count on Gorman making the jump, at least to start the season next year. Struggling so far in Springfield. [Reply]

Carlson looked like shit last year. He's a legit rookie of the year candidate now. They have to learn how to adjust at this level. Even those with the high ceiling natural raw talent. [Reply]
