La Russa Pushing For Additions

Jose Guillen, Zach Greinke, Grudzy. We can Trade Ludwick, Reyes, and Bryan Anderson and one of our AAA Starters.

Julio Lugo, Javier Lopez, and Charlie Zink. You don't have to give us anything back. Just enjoy.

might be a good website but the guy that wrote that article is an idiot if he thinks milton bradley wont be a TYPE A or Even TYPE B free agent. His proposal of Chris Duncan and Anthony Reyes for him intrigues me though even though Duncan might not have a spot here.

we will give you Adam Kennedy, Mark Mulder, and a bag of big league chew.

With Mulder only lasting 1/3 of an inning they may lean to a pitcher. As a Cub fan that scares me. The Cardinals almost always seem to get a pitcher who has great talent but mediorcre results and make him into a successful pitcher. I could see Dave Duncan getting either Burnett or Wolf to reach their potential and pitch as well as Harden or Sabathia down the stretch.

Did I see a Cards fan actually suggest trading Ludwick? Hmm...

As a Cubs fan, I might literally pee my pants if they could pull of trades for Bradley and Burnett. I think one of those two makes a big impact by itself. I do agree with LaRussa though, I think they have to make some kind of move. Fuentes helps, but they need something of more impact than that.

I really think that two of Brendan Ryan, Chris Duncan, and Anthony Reyes gets you Burnett. You could probably go Reyes for Wolf straight up, no? Duncan for Wolf?

Do you think La Russa gave Mozeliak a heads up with an evil grin or laugh just before throwing him under the bus, or did he do it without warning?

Yeah, Lugo, Lopez, and Zink.
Plus cash.
To St. Louis.

For
Nothing.

alright guys first thing about the cards not competing. screw that. i was convinced the cards would suck in the offseason but no more. this team is mentally tough. if there was just a little more talent and a little more health they would win a little more games. if izzy didnt have a mental breakdown for a month we would have the same record as the cubs.

and what this about trading ludwick? thats not happening. hes cheap and already sort of developed. hes like 29 with 4 more years of team control.

i like the idea of trading duncan and making skip the 4th outfielder. our 4th outfielder is just like a starter anyways. then we get holliday and fuentes from colorado. give up duncan, reyes, anderson, and another pitcher like this garcia that is about to be showcased. thats a lot of talent but nothing that really would hurt the cards long term. on the other hand duncan and reyes might have success somewhere else and anderson and garcia r good prospects so it seems fair for colorado.

i had never heard of tallet but looking at his numbers he looks great. he seems to be getting better by the year. i think that package would be less mainly because holliday is a much more sure thing than burnett, eventhough burnett should be good for us. i think reyes and anderson would be fair for those two, but ive been told by jays fans that they have good catching prospects. i know there are a lot of teams that would really like a good young catcher im just not sure if the jays r one.

I like Matt Holliday on this team. That's one option, or they could not risk anything and sign Barry Bonds.

there will be no rasmus trade guys. he is the definition of untouchable. i dont think holliday has a huge trade value. hes really good but hes already expensive and a free agent after next year. i thikn that package of anderson/reyes/duncan/garcia should be enough. anderson has real value and garcia is well liked. we really wouldnt want to get rid of garcia at all but i think we might be showing him off to other teams. fuentes is also a free agent, eventhough people say they want a lot for him alone.

Anderson would be a good trade too. i think Anderson,Rasmus,Mather,Reyes and Barton. i really want to see Barton go he is a bum and just a real buzz killer but he hit very good in Colorado last time we were there.I think we would resign Holliday at the end of the season just because of the need for back up behind Albert. and all of you have to admit Anderson,Brenden Ryan,Rasmus none of these guys are threats behind Albert.
we dont need Anderson because we have Molina, Dont need Rasmus we have Ankiel. and if we ever let Skip, or Lud go this team is going to really be going down hill fast. You gotta feel sorry for Albert too because he never really gets good pitches anymore i mean besides Albert would you be afraid of the lineup we have? If its not Holliday we need a big name and a big bat i wish the Owners would quit putting so much money into there pocket and put it back into our team.

seamusiv: I am sorry but 30 isn't old. as long as these guys can play then they can be resigned are you kidding do you actually think anyone should be afraid of Rasmus? If you don't want to see Ludwick,Duck,Ankiel, And shu resigned then your an idiot. What do you want us to do sit around and bring up young guys and end up like the pirates? we could win a few more championships if we can get Holliday and resign him for a few years. Anderson can't be used in the future because of Molina and we won't use him to back up and the kid has no power. Rasmus won't come up till Ank is gone and i swear to god Rasmus has nothing on Ankiel. Mather isnt impressive Ludwick and Shu are much better and Holliday is better then rasmus,anderson,mather and barton combined and if they dont go out and use these guys to get a big name then use them to get pitching because honestly when you have a 10-4 lead to the pirates in the 7th inning and still lose you have problems so quite your wining about the future the future will be fine. And if the cards had made big deals and put money into the team instead of there owners pockets then we wouldn't even have to worrie about giving up the young guy's. so idiot it has nothing to do with age it has everything to do with who can get the job done and none of these young guys can get it done so our future isn't looking to bright.

and next time you try to insult my intelligence think twice because apparently i know more about this team then you do.
