you guys proved some good points but if u think about it…

bay should be better offensively and defensively than Duncan even if he is older and more money

we need Morris even if u say we don’t
Morris’s best years were with STL and he went 10-11 with a 4.8 ERA with Pittsburgh

Wilson is better defensively and offensively that any SS we have now

our lineup would be just as good as anyone in the central or for that matter of fact in the National League

C- Molina
1b- Pujols
2b- Kennedy/ Ryan
3b- Glaus
SS- Wilson
LF- Bay
CF- Ankeil (Rasmus when ready)
RF- platoon Barton/Ludwick until Rasmus Ready

Wainwright
Piniero
Morris
Clement
Looper (until Mulder or Carp comes back)

I do like the idea of bringing Matty Mo back but only as a 4 or 5 guy. He's an innings eater and will give me someone to boo again. I've been missing that since Ray Lankford and Marquis left town and it would be nice to have a villain on the team again. Anyway, as you mentioned, Bay isn't that much of an upgrade over Duncan and he's 3 years older and more expensive. Wilson had like one fluke year if memory serves and the Cards have been in love with him ever since. We've already got WAY too many infielders so if you're trading young pitching for IF help, I'm going to go ballistic. Bottom line, this is not the trade we need. If it were Duncan and Reyes for Morris and Bay, I might be talked into it but for the most part I'd say lets keep the youth we have. Yeah, I don’t particularly care for the deal.

I don't think I'd do the rest of the deal, though. I think I’d trade Bay for Duncan–defense plus Bay’s a bit more established but still very young.
