So whats the story with Weaver. Dude was DFA by the angels with what 3 more years left on the contract. Cards get him this year for the minimum. do they get him for the minimum for the next 3 years too?

 

no, weaver was on a one-year contract w/the Angels this year. Besides, I think if you release a guy, you're on the hook for his contract and he can sign for whatever he wants with another team.

 

Thanks. I was worried they would get Weaver for league minimum for the next 3 years and have a guy with about a 4.00 era. (i must thought he and ortiz were in the same boat). would of been a good deal for them. Not we just gotta get the birds to bite the bait and sign weaver to nice hefty contract :twisted:

Why would they do that when they can just pick up some other piece of crap for cheap?

Because they will be reminded the pixie dust didnt work on mulder. its not 100% effective. The PR for a WS winner signing guys of the scrap aint good. Suppan will resign.

seriously. guys like Bruce Chen, Joel Pineiro and Shawn Estes are probably available. Since the Cards have the miracle worker in their dugout, there's no reason to spend any money on pitching.

Wouldn't that just take the cake?

sigh, sadly I do know this. I am waiting for Prior to get healthy once he signs with them.

Duncan has got to be the worst fielder I've ever seen. It kinda negates all his hitting prowess. Should be an error just now.

 

I like how he banged into the wall like a truck. BAM!

How does Babe Molina get on base this inning?

 

why a seeing-eye flare, of course

he might have more hits this postseason than he did in any month this year.

hey mulder tell us something about pitching... with that 7.14 ERA you must have some pearls of wisdom to share

"Hey, I was still better than Prior."
