With rumors about the cards trying to move rolen it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try to aquire a SS, IMO ryan would make a fine everyday 3rd baseman, he’s good with the glove and hit .290 which is more than i can say about most of our offense

4yr/$36mil????? Are you kidding me? Well, thanks for the memories, David. I wouldn’t give him more than 1yr/$5mill.

Oh, heck yeah.

If he can get that somewhere, he’s got to take it. He’ll get a nice ovation when he comes to play at Busch, which is fine.

There’s no way the Cardinals have any business signing him for four years, no matter the money.

I see now he is reportedly eyeing 4 yr/$36mil contract.
If so, that is way too much and too many years for his frail body.

I can’t say that I do have an idea for a replacement at SS or leadoff. I’m pretty sure Ryan is not a long-term solution.

And I’m not terribly opposed to a one-year deal for Eckstein. I don’t expect we’ll be going anywhere in ’08 anyway.

But if someone wants to outbid us, more power to them.
