Thanks for your contribution to the Cardinals. You shall forever go down as a fun, exciting Cards player.

Now the deal. The return was a 24 yr old Class A player who may someday make it to the Bigs. Money has been freed up to spend. Hopefully for an impact pitcher. Probably another $6-7 mil available. I think another deal is soon to follow that will free up even more money.

Production? I believe the platoon of Ankiel/Ludwick/Schumaker will produce approximately as much if not more than Edmonds. I truly believe that Rasmus will not be up unless he has a fantastic Spring Training.

Where to spend that money? The media writes that Lohse and Silva are still looking for the “good deal”. I am not sure they would be big help to us. We shall see.

Another interesting side note here is why did LaRussa come back this year? He hasn’t shown the propensity to manage youngsters and it appears that is the way it shall be.
