With Shark, Wood, and E-Jax penciled in as SP, and having Villanueva, Rusin, Arrieta, Grimm, and Hendricks competing for jobs, how many SP do we need to add? I say just 1. Then, you have Strop, Russell, and Parker set in the pen, in my mind, with 3 or 4 of the losers from the 5th SP battle, plus Cabrera, Rosscup, Rivero, and holdovers Dolis, Sanchez, Bowden, Rondon, Raley, and others we've claimed and taken off the 40 man.....One bullpen addition as well or two, at the most?

 

For a bad team, there sure is a lot I'd like to stand pat on. I'm kind of hoping we focus our money on like 2 or 3 higher-impact signings.

Give me Tanaka, a solid bullpen arm, and some sort of stopgap OFer, like Chris Young maybe, and call it an offseason.

This freaking ump has been calling it their way all night (including the [expletive] baseline call with Castro) and he makes one borderline call (which was actually correct) against them and the Cardinals flip out.

Same story, different day. I for one am glad that kind of crap still goes on. Makes it much easier to hate them.
