[QUOTE="I Hate Lemonier, post: 1076304"] I agree with you on the financial parts. The Cards have absolutely raked in the $$$ over the last 10 years and now with ball park village and a new tv contract coming they have it to spend. I think maybe the sportswriters are overthinking this a bit. I think the Cards checking in on these guys has more to do with their new financial bracket than injury fears or fears of the Cubs and Pirates. Lackey may be back next year as they have had talks about working something out with the funky one year salary he has left. Maybe a raise with a team friendly option next year. A Price deal could make some sense as a one year rental due to the aging Molina, Holliday, Peralta trio. Price would walk in 2016 but you would get the draft choice. I could see staying put or going all in with one of these Aces. Both make sense to me. I really don't want to deplete our farm system anymore than it is so if I had to choose I probably would leave the team as is and make a move mid season if necessary. Next year there are a bunch of good free agents pitchers if you want to go shopping as well. [/QUOTE]
