[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1971113, member: 3916"] Cardinals have gotten off to a good start in addressing the main issues from last season's dreadful performance.......Next issue should be to shore up the bullpen and let go some of the underperforming arms and replace with some swing and miss fireballer's...... There is a Japanese reliever that I have read they have an interest in and could fit in nicely......i also think I read that he does NOT require a posting fee , so maybe he would fit in to the Cardinals budget........ if they don't trade Matz away , I could see him as a valuable lefty for the bullpen........He seemed like he had a lot of trouble facing batters for a second or third plate appearance against him............ I am also looking at what they do with Helsley.......apparently there is some friction about his last arbitration salary difference's........ will they trade TON or will they give him one more year to see if he can stay healthy and produce like his one great season......I know they are advertising him as available in a trade , but I don;t see them giving him away and projections are his salary next season to be in the $ 5 million range...... And please don't trade Donovan away.......i read yesterday that one of the national pundits proposed a trade with the Mariners for the pitcher Logan Gilbert ....the pundit proposed Donovan , TON and 2-3 highly rated prospects...... It will be very interesting to see what the roster looks like when spring training starts........let's hope enough work has been done to avoid the embarrassing result of last season........another sub par finish next season should get heads to roll and a major overhaul of the FO and coaching staff including a new manager.......I like Marmol and hope he will have some imput into the decisions being made for next season.................I know he has some issues such as managing the bullpen and keeping a regular lineup without tinkering so much with it..........managing days off with the team embroiled in last place kinda ticked me off as I believe a player needs a regular number of at bats to get on a good hitting streak....... Let's Go Cardinals...................................JMHO [/QUOTE]
