I really hope the Cards strengthen their bullpen. Might be the most important part of an MLB team the way the game has evolved. They had 41 blown leads this year, 9th worst in baseball. By comparison, the Rays had 25 and the Brewers 28, both among the best in baseball.

Definitely could a few more reliable arms there. Although if the owners go ahead with the lockout on Dec 1 I assume that will put a stop to all the signing activity until an agreement is made. Whenever that might be.

i also wonder exactly what the rules are for a young player on the 40 man
roster but never having played in the bigs. During the lock out, could MLB
allow that guy movement to AAA (or spring training minor league camp) for
some at bats or pitching/defensive development?

Players on the 40-man fall under the MLB CBA, and therefore would be subject to the lockout and ineligible to play in the minors at all.
