Cardinals

[Butcher]

That's a tough road trip. Hopefully they stay right where they are. I enjoy the silence from the Cards/Sox fans.

The Cards are cornering the market for mediocre starting pitchers. Bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off.

Aging, potentially average starters signed on back-to-back days to one year deals with team options - Clearly there’s a market inefficiency that the Cardinals have identified. They likely have improved their starting rotation roster. Yup, guess when you start out with bloody stool and situation changes to simply diarrhea, that’s a significant improvement!

This would be something I suppose.

That's a solid addition.

Cards reunite with Matt Carpenter. Matt sucked for the Padres and last couple of years with Cards but found some power and solid contact with Yanks a couple seasons back

Guessing that Matt will find that magic elixir which older players seem to find in the waters of St Louis, hit 20 HRs in a few months and leave the club for personal reason prior to end of season

That was a very specific prediction.

More fun to predict than stating he won’t be on team past July despite Padres paying him all but minimum

[Butcher]

My prediction is that he'll be thoroughly mediocre.

[1060Ivy]

Mediocre would be significantly better than his production with Padres

I was enjoying seeing less of his ugly mug. However, I have a feeling he's going to continue underperforming so I'm glad to see this.
