All I want for Christmas….
I Went to Menard’s today and Adam got me thinking…. he said, “all I want for Christmas is a pitcher.” Right on, Adam!
We need a good pitcher. Why can’t we get one that is healthy, good arm and has upside. No , not Jeff Weaver type players but I don’t mind we we throw him in the mix for the #4-5 pitcher.
A potential stud. Do we not have the money? Do we not have the trade-ability? What is it? Carpenter and Mulder can’t be counted on and we have NO one. ok, Wainwright is the best but how good is he?
Some teams have stoppers. The Oswalt/Zambrano/Pedro type. We haven’t had for how long now?
We look for the OFFENSE first, it seems.
You know, ” Christmas isn’t over until the fat man brings!”
Please hear the Cardinal Nation.

I don’t think we look for offense first but you can only improve the club by one of two ways; either improve your pitching, or improve your offense. If we don’t have the chips to make a trade for a big pitcher, then the next logical step is to improve the offense. Besides, offensive players play every day rather than once every 5 days.
Offense does play every day but it does no good to pound out 12 hits and 6 runs without a pitcher that can get them out.
It hasn’t been that long that we have had a true #1. Until he was hurt, Carp has been the man the past three years. I don’t know if he can be counted on to do that again. Getting another top of the rotation guy would be a nice addition. Erik Bedard has that talent, I really wish we would make a serious effort to get him.
I always go to menards if i need some good cardinals talk
Agree. Need a pitcher. Heck, at this point I’ll take anything. Pitcher, hitter, new bat boy…
