Well so much for Renteria since he just got taded to Detroit today. Go to plan B……

Sure, getting one of the Braves young shortstops (there’s another one as well, right, besides Escobar? Lillebridge?) would be great, but it’d cost a lot more in talent. Renteria could possibly be had for a single-A guy and picking up his contract.

Get rid of Eckstein…Renteria is our answer.

EdRent won’t come cheap. I would rather have Atlanta’s backup.

Agreed, Eckstein only needs a one year deal.

If they could get Renteria from the Braves fairly cheaply in terms of prospects (a possibility since they have some minor leaguers that are ready for the job), I’d be all in favor of having him back.

I would rather see Eckstein become a 2nd baseman. I know it would be tough as he has played SS all of his career, but he no longer (not that he reall ever did) has the arm to play SS. At 2nd base, he would at least be able to get the ball to first easily. If the Cards do re-sign him, make it for only one year.

I love Eckstein’s hustle and heart, but I think we’ve seen enough of him as a Cardinal. I also like Ryan, but don’t see him as an everyday type. I would, put up with him at short if it meant saving money for a good pitcher.
