Cardinals Rumors: Rolen, Bedard, Tejada

LMAOROFL

A B C D X Y X Y W R Q S T, im not drunk officer I swear.

thats a really long acronym...anyways, if we are to get Bedard we are going to have to give up something. enough of the cardinals playing with my heart saying they are going after big name players then saying they were demanding too much or the value wasn't there.

They said three or four major league ready or close to prospects. To get it done it will have to be something we begrudgingly give up, not just Reyes and Edmonds or something.

I wouldn't be upset if the final trade was for Reyes, Bryan Anderson, Chris Duncan, Tyler Johnson? I don't think we have the pure talent to give up only 3 so I would say 4 will have to suffice.
I think Dunc would be a good fit at first there. and would be happy to see him get a shot

Where exactly in that article was LaRussa scathing towards Rolen. I thought LaRussa was pretty frank. He didn't call him a bad player, didn't say he wasn't worth what he is being paid. He just said that his stature has slipped because he has missed a ton of time.

If that hurts Rolen's feeling, boo hoo. He better not look at any of the boxscores over the past 3 years either, then.

sorry about the punctuality of my post I think my internet's f'ed up. I don't want tejada at all. for the record

"erik bedard and miguel tejada for scott rolen, anthony reyes, randy flores, bryan anderson, chris duncan, brendan ryan, and jarret hoffpauir, and cash"

And this is a good idea for the Orioles.. how? If they traded those two guys seperately they could get probably 3 top prospects for Bedard and 1-2 top prospects for Tejada. Not one guy you offered is a top prospect. You didn't even include Colby Rasmus or Jaime Garcia in the offer, even though those two are probably their best two prospects. AMAC11 you have completely failed at thinking of a reasonable trade scenario.

How about Tejada to the Cards for Chris Duncan, Bryan Anderson and Brendan Ryan.

Theres almost no reasonable scenario in which the Cardinals could get Bedard, and if they did they would have to give up their whole farm system essentially

jaime garcia is a bum, and rasmus is a top 3 overall prospect...colby's goin no where....and how is tejada worth 1-2 top prospects ...he's like 33-34, lost range, lost power, and is wed 26 mill over nex 2 years ....IDIOT

A retarded monkey would know better than to trade Bedard without getting Rasmus in return. Is Peter Angelos a retarded monkey.. who's to say..

Tejada will be dealt this off-season, no question about it... He carries the ol' steroid stigma, and they're looking to cleanse their hands of him. I don't see him baiting two high prospects. It'd be the same deal with Rolen.

"I don't see him baiting two high prospects. It'd be the same deal with Rolen."

I think there's a huge difference between Rolen and Tejada. Rolen has been hurt in the last 2 years, and Tejada missed games this year for the first time since 2000. Rolen batted 331/398/729 while Tejada batted 357/442/799 and showed much less decline than Rolen. Tejada is 31 and is under contract for 2/26 and Rolen is 32 and under contract for 3/36. Tejada is farrr more valuable than Rolen, even if Rolen is the superior defender.

Actually, the Cards might be a good fit with Cleveland for a deal ~ give them a couple pieces a bit cheaper than they can probably find them elseware.

Marte needs to be traded, has solid D at 3B, provides power and ideally will begin to hit at the ML if given the chance...
Lee has already been rumored to them, although I think it was debunked. The Tribe needs to deal him though, and StL could definitely use the arm.

Not sure what type of return or whatever, but the players might fit much easier then the other types of deals they are talking. I know the Tribe has expressed interest in Reyes and Anderson ~ maybe talks are going on anyway…

Sorry guys, even if you included Rasmus which I know you guys don't want to do, I can't see how you would be able to get Bedard. Tejada is another story, but from what has been rumored, Rasmus + 2 still proabably wouldn't get it done.

Yeah, TLR really boned the Cards by outing that piece of info. As I stated on beat writer Matthew Leach's blog, it's like TLR bought Mo a big neon blinking hat for the Holidays that states "WE ARE INCREDIBLY DESPERATE TO MOVE SCOTT ROLEN! PLEASE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION BY ROBBING US BLIND!"

Scott Rolen i would take anyday on my team and that team is Milwaukee Brewers, we need a veteran like him and then we can move braun into left field, then we would win the world series!
