They're thinking about talking about making an offer. What marvelous journalism. -- nm - David Mar 15, 07:12 10
- Local media is, surprisingly, being pretty civil about this. I'm hearing a lot of, "I really respect Buster Olney, but..." comments. -- nm - Jim Mar 15, 07:33 5
  - This is a gambit by Amaro. I'm certain of that. - David Mar 15, 07:38 4
    - It's weird timing to me. We still have Albert locked up for the next 2 seasons. Why would we even consider trading him at this deadline? - Jim Mar 15, 07:42 3
      - This is why its insane. They have the same contract length. Howard's is *more* money. - TFox Mar 15, 07:59 1
        
        It also gives the Phillies leverage in renegotiating with Howard. -- nm - David Mar 15, 08:03
      - Johan went through the same thing. The difference is that the Cards are considered at worst the second best team in the NL at the start of the season. -- nm - David Mar 15, 07:50
- it's like Bill Simmons doing a column on NBA trades only not serious -- nm - Beaker Mar 15, 07:16 3
  - "only serious" -- nm - Beaker Mar 15, 07:16 2
    - You had it right the first time. -- nm - David Mar 15, 07:19 1
      - Yeah, someone's getting paid to make a truth and rumors blind item into a full story. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 15, 07:20
Will never happen. -- nm - Jim Mar 15, 06:15
imo, st.louis would be insane to even discuss such an idea. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 15, 05:17 7
- "Let's trade Pujols for a less-talented, more-expensive 1B, just because he would be cheaper in free agency... when we could just sign him anyway." - TFox Mar 15, 06:04 3
  - You'd also get whatever the Phillies add in on top of him. - Will Hunting Mar 15, 06:39 2
    - Don't want it. -- nm - Jim Mar 15, 06:43 1
      - Course not. But if it came down to he's gone for nothing or he's gone for something..... - Will Hunting Mar 15, 07:08
- It's one of those "If everything goes wrong, what options does St Louis consider" type of things - Will Hunting Mar 15, 05:20 2
  - i agree. but this article isnt about the cardinals thinking about that deal, is about the phillies thinking about the cardinals thinking about it. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 15, 05:29 1
    - Which is why I'm stunned that it's an article becuase this is entirely the way these decisions are made - Will Hunting Mar 15, 05:40
