Comments on: Contract Review- Russ Springer http://cardinalsgm.com/gm-suggestions/contract-review-russ-springer/ A look at the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team from a GM perspective.

One, the whole "hometown discount" comments do come off the wrong way. I don't care too much for that since the Cards could have gotten something pretty decent for him at the deadline. Two, bullpen arms seem to fluctuate. One year they are good, the next they blow up. I'd take a chance and bring him back, but I wouldn't get into a bidding war over it.

Bring him back for a respectable contract. Good post! Springer was one of the stable pieces to the bullpen. Bring him back for a respectable contract. Good post!

Come on, he pitched what 76 games and high 60s innings and had a 2.18 ERA. That's better than Izzy! I don't blame him for not wanting to give a discount. He already gave it to them this year, 2007! 2.5-3.0 million ought to be about right considering what's being paid to significantly lesser performing players. Sign Springer up for what he’s worth.
