[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1816218, member: 3916"] These are your opinions and I generally agree with your intent..........I would take a couple of points a little further than you..........Carlson is average , at best ......he will never be a 25 + HR guy or 80-100 RBI guy.......He's way to skinny and has an unmuscular frame ........On the complete other side of the spectrum , TON is TOO muscular and more prone to hamstring and ankle injuries.....I also noticed TON pulling away from home plate like he was afraid of being hit and the ball was right down the middle.....He will be a gamble for the FO to figure out .....Hold onto TON and suffer numerous years of less than 100 games played and then suffer with Carlson with numerous injuries and zero production from his left handed hitting side.... Edmon & Donovan now both have Gold Gloves in their resume , so that is set with Gorman at LH GH and spell in the field .... PDJ is a heavy weight on the roster and I still have no idea why MO is talking him up except to maintain what little trade value he still has ......A less expensive version of the Dexter Fowler fiasco........ catcher is , without a doubt , priority # 1 .........with at least one high end starter a close second.......... Flaherty............injury prone with his eyes on returning home to California Hudson ............hasn't located a consistent strike zone yet , so why think he ever will.....TJ surgery plays a miniscule part if any at all.... Waino.............Love him as a long time Cardinal and want to celebrate his final year , but an 85 mph fastball don't play anymore ......dead arm ?? Mikolas ...........great stuff but will he ever reach the 18-4 year stuff he had before ? Montgomery .............I want to see a full year before making a judgment Quintana.....................please resign asap etc etc.........................nobody above that strikes fear in the opposition....................... I have a solid opinion it will be same as last season and before with low hanging fruit compared to the shiny fruit higher up the food chain........ JMHO...................... [/QUOTE]
