  5. Oh JD…you crack me up! No one could be so overly optimistic about Dewitt and Mo! You're desperate for content because covering this cheap train wreck of an organization can't be easy.

  8. "They're not really planning to spend….money on any premium free agents this year". I'm having a tough time remembering the last "premium" free agent this franchise acquired to be honest. Was Fowler "premium"?

  9. Why does everyone talk about resigning JACK , We had him and got rid of him for a reason, his attitude was bad at times and he would be the same bad pitcher we had before, I’m sure he definitely wouldn’t want to come back

  11. 28:49 on a pitcher they won't spend money for. A pitcher that nobody wants back because he's mentally weak. And a 38 year old 1st baseman when we have one, if not two already? Minus the 15 minutes of commercials and YT commercials, that's 15:49 on fantasy baseball. 🤣👎

  14. Hey JD;

    I think the Cards will be giving guys already in the organization opportunities at first base.

    I don’t see them doing much on the free agent market. If they do anything I look for them to be as cheap as they can about it, both in money and years.

    It seems clear to me they want to play their youth.

    You do a great job keeping the content coming. Thanks JD!!

  15. Quit screwing around lock up Helsley he's one of the best closers.
    He's still young .
    We aren't signing gibby , lynn and goldy.
    Get Contreras, arenado to accept a trade ,while your at it include matz and miles in the deal.
    Matz ,miles are horrible signings by mo.

  16. I'm fine with Oli. I thought he managed the bullpen and starters VERY well, but I wasn't so keen on some of lineup decisions, i.e. keeping Winn way down in the order for so long and leaving Goldy near the top for so long.
    Personally I don't think they will sign anyone like that. I'm thinking they'll just go with what they've got and try to get the bats going like they should be. Carlos Santana would be the closest possible signing that I could see. He'll probably only cost 5-6 mil/yr for a 1-2 year contract, solid 1B, good enough bat, Veteran leadership (😂). But until we see what happens this winter, we won't even be able to make an educated guess, although I don't rule out finishing 4th in the division after the Brewers, Cubs and Reds (I think Tito is gonna have a HUGE impact on that team).

  17. The chance of Flaherty returning to St. Louis is less than zero. Even if the Dodgers decide to let him walk, which I seriously doubt, there is absolutely no way he would ever want to return to the a Cardinals.
