[QUOTE="IllinoisRebel, post: 1816207, member: 588948"] All I'm asking for this offseason is a good catcher and a top 2 starting pitcher. With Jordan Walker "apparently" ready, I'm okay with the outfield mix...but, just okay. If the Cards obtained a proven outfielder, it would be okay with me. Somebody talk me down, but I'm losing faith in Carlson, and I'm tired of O'neill always being hurt. I'd give O'neill another chance because we need some power in the outfield. Love me some Noot, though! I feel shortstop can be handled by Edmond and Donovan and second base by Donovan and Gorman. If Winn is ready, yes please! I'm sorry, DeJong suuccckkks. Our starting pitchers going into a playoff series scare no one. Our only hope is an acquisition and a healthy Flaherty. Mikolas, Wainright, & Montgomery are #3 to #5 rotation guys at best. I would love to have 2 dominant pitchers and a really good #3 to entering a playoff series. The adage of good pitching stops good hitting is still true today. Oh, and I'm not sure I ever want to see Hudson pitch again, my blood pressure raises too much when he pitches. We need a quality starting catcher. Knizner is not a starting catcher and is a very average backup. Wouldn't be opposed to finding another backup, also. Which hurts because I was a big Knizner supporter. He he had hit everywhere he played in the minors, and I thought he would figure it out. I'm not so sure anymore. Is this enough to get to a world series? I'm bored, so tell me where I'm wrong!
