Rosenthal On Peavy, Ohman, Looper

I dont think the cardinals are "out of money" i just think theres nobody out there they want to take a chance on. Come Spring Training, if management decides we need a starter, i guarentee MO will spend the money to make that happen or make the necessary trade regardless of financial specifics.

He probably wants to stay in the NL because he would get destroyed in the AL East.

I actually think the Dodgers, Brewers and maybe the White Sox would be the best suitors.

"Phillies are out on Ohman"

Are the Tigers in now that Parrish is gone? They HAVE to sign one of Ohman or Beimel.

If they're willing to include Vitters and Marshall, I'd feel pretty confident that both teams could figure out a deal.

How many times do sports writer have to say "No news on Peavy" before they realize that if it's not NEWs, then they shouldn't be writing about it?

wait a second. isn't hadricourt the guy who had pujols seventh on his mvp ballot?

fool.

To be honest I'm not too optimistic about the Cubs getting Peavy. That contract is awfully backloaded.

Could come back to haunt the team two or three years down the road.

Out of money, did it all go into the two lefties, that's ridiculuous, Cardinals just don't wanna pony up the dough because they've been burned in the past. I'm getting tired of Mozelik being a tightwad, thought he was gonna be aggressive. The only big signing they tried to make was Fuentes and he never was worth that much.

You can't complain about Mo being a tightwad in one sentence, then saying we were going to over pay for Fuentes. The fact is, in this market, if you want an type A or B, or even some guy that aren't even on that level your going to have to shell out more money than the player is worth.
I'd love to see us sign sheets, the price is right for the talent but it's gotta come down for it to be a smart move due to his history.
Also why not sign Orlando Hudson. Kennedy blows, it gives us a top of the order bat to get on in front of albert, ludwick and ankiel. I know they dont want to spend the money, but it make sense. Then deal ankiel for a solid 4-5 starter for the rotation so we can get piniero out of there and our team is set as long as the perez/motte combo can close a game.
Keep in mind we don't always need the best talent on the field with Tony on the bench as long as the right pieces are there, I trust MO to put them in place.

I'm tired of this BS with the sale of the Cubs. Theres a new rumor out there that the Cubs could be going after Orlando Hudson. But again its pending on the completion of the sale of the Cubs. Everybodies getting better but us. Another rumor is that the Astros are going after Adam Dunn. This sale of the Cubs is nothing but BS, everybody say the sale will happen so WHY can't the Ricketts make any decisions. We've cut payroll and still can't do anything BS.

michael black few errors.

your right about orlando hudson, but i doubt it. everybody is getting better but us. cards-no brewers-no way astros-havent yet pirates-no reds- yes but.. i doubt they compete. whitesox- no

so i dont see anyone getting better, but maybe thats just me. ricketts is not the owner of the cubs!!! he has absolutely no say in anything right now.. nada, he may not even be are owner. most likely he will be, but who knows. we've cut payroll???? are payroll has increased !?>!?! so idk what your talking about
