    MLB: ***Official 2024 St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    Yeah, I don't think Walker will be the worst, but learning outfield in the majors isn't typically a path to being a good defender. It's outfield though so won't have a huge impact as long as he's just not awful. Phillies have gotten by for years. Normally I'd agree with you on managers but with...

    If they let guys stay at one position and can firm up the defense they should compete in the weak Central. No more flipping Walker between left and right field bc the analytics say a park plays one way or another. Offense should be good, I like the bullpen, and starters should be able to give...

    ****Official Class Of 2025 Recruiting Thread****

    There are offers out to Mac Moore, Curtis Stinson Jr, and Phoenix Gill. I'd say all our backup recruits in a sense. We are Moore's best offer, Stinson has a few but unknown if they are commitable. Gill likely would go Illinois if they take him so he's in a holding pattern as well. All 3 are...

    *** Official #24 IOWA STATE vs #20 BYU Game(Day) Thread ***

    He's gone full Gabe - I think it's mental. Against OSU he had the one where he tried to draw the foul, so not really an attempt (just one of his 2-3 frustrating plays per game that you have to put up with for all the other good he does). But then the other was a clean look and it was way off -...

    MLB: ***Official 2023 St. Louis Cardinals Thread ***

    Agree with what you've said. But our 3 main guys are each a bit risky. Helsley has issues when asked to throw multiple days in a row, Gallegos had a down year giving up HRs and perhaps the new rules continue to impact him as he was one of the slowest workers in baseball, and Romero had a good...

    MLB: ***Official 2023 St. Louis Cardinals Thread ***

    Agreed on Gorman - his bat is one we've been wanting to develop forever. I think his future home is 1B after Goldy retires. He can play 2B a bit, but in the playoffs and with a groundball staff (plus his back issues last year) it gets a little troublesome. He's one of my favorite guys just...

    MLB: ***Official 2023 St. Louis Cardinals Thread ***

    I do like the focus on pitching again. Would prefer a high-upside young arm to add to the rotation as well, but at the very least they should add two more bullpen arms to get that sorted out and play well off of a staff that can give you innings. The other thing I'd like to see is just leaving...

    One thing to consider - Matz had a market at the deadline but the Cardinals held onto him. If they move him that's $12M off the books in addition to the likely movements of O'Neill ($5.5M) and Carlson ($1.8M). That's nearly $20M off the books. Now they'll have to take some back in those moves...

    Did you watch the Pitt game? In all seriousness, they'll have a chance early in the season to string some wins together. Would guess they can get ranked fairly quickly if they play to the level we think they should be at. No shame in not being ranked in a preseason poll.

    Tekoah Roby, who we picked up for Jordan Montgomery, may supplant him. It's just injury concerns with Roby. His peripherals have been great, just too many HRs last year. He cut those way back this year and he dominated when he pitched at Springfield. Now he opened AFL with 3 innings of 1 hit...

    RECRUITING: Khijonn Cummings-Coleman narrows choices to two, will be in Ames for TCU game

    Could also just be non-committable as those schools took commitments elsewhere and filled up the slots. Looks like all his offers came last fall and winter. But it seems like some tools should be there and we haven't taken a CB yet. We've done well with toolsy athletes in Tampa, Purchase, and...

    MLB: Trevor Bauer Exonerated?

    MLB also certainly has much more detail than we have just listening to one side of the story for one accuser. A lot of people oddly eager to jump back on a weird, weird bandwagon here. The Dodger clubhouse jumped at the opportunity to not have to deal with this guy again.

    MLB: ***Official 2023 St. Louis Cardinals Thread ***

    There were the rumors that Seattle was a match around the deadline so one of their arms would be a great addition but costly. I wonder if they target Shane Bieber - in his last year and will be costly in terms of $ to the Guardians. Maybe they want to make a run next year with him, but we could...

    ISU 247 site leader just stepped away...he was really good and will be missed but could the two be related?
