[QUOTE="wpr, post: 1512005, member: 4159"] In the past few years I've seen a lot of people call the Cardinal front office cheap. It puzzles me why. I just went to [URL='https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/payroll/2019/']Spotrac[/URL] and looked at the total team payroll from 2019 back to 2011. (That's as far as their records go.) The total team payroll was 6, 8, 14, 11, 12, 11, 10, 9, 9. Their payroll is higher than average every year. Even when they were 10th - 14th highest that isn't a cheap organization. As you probably already know the teams that are consistently in the top 5 are LA, NY, Chicago, Philly and Boston. They frequently go over the cap and have to pay a penalty. StL definitely needs a more production in the lineup. I won't argue that. Unfortunately we won't see it as long as Carpenter and Fowler are on the team. Heck even Yadi is sucking up $20 mil and wanting to take another drink or two out of the deep end of the pool. [/QUOTE]
